Alabama NewsCenter — Pat Dye’s beloved Crooked Oaks Farm now part of Auburn University

By: Kendra Carter

Pat Dye, the late, legendary head football coach at Auburn University, spent years nurturing and improving his beloved farm in Notasulga. Now it’s up to the university to carry on the work.

The Auburn University Real Estate Foundation (AUREF) and the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment (CFWE) has accepted a gift of 415 acres of Dye’s Crooked Oaks Farm. The donated property includes the main house, a guest cabin, lodge, pavilion, gazebo, two barns and a nursery office.

“We had been longtime supporters of Auburn University through our charitable trust and in hosting fundraising events, and the timing was right to make the gift,” said Nancy McDonald, Dye’s longtime partner and a retired nursing educator at Auburn University at Montgomery.
