The AU Board of Trustees determined the site of the museum to be the intersection of College Street and Woodfield Drive. This site encompasses nearly 20 acres and would serve as the gateway to Auburn University.

Through the cooperation of the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station and the AU College of Agriculture, the museum shares the site with The Cullars Rotation, the oldest soil fertility experiment in the South.  An important part of the museum grounds, it stands as a constant reminder of Auburn’s land-grant mission.
