ABOUT US

WELCOME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

For decades, the American Tobacco Campus and the City of Durham were one of the busiest industrial centers in the country, shipping products around the world. The end of the tobacco industry in Durham put the Bull City in a position to re-invent itself. That process got off to a blazing start right here.

Working together, local government and private sector leaders re-made the former American Tobacco factory, developed the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and opened the stunning Durham Performing Arts Center (all located on the campus), rejuvenating this unique city and setting a new live-work-play standard.

Learn more about the city’s and American Tobacco’s transformation in this documentary.

Fast forward 20 years, and we’ve built a community attracting millions of guests each year for everything from wedding celebrations to meetings and baseball to Broadway.
