On a quiet night of March 20, 1893, Athens townsfolk were suddenly awakened from their slumber by the cries of, Fire!

Want to hear more? Be sure to come this Saturday, April 23, at 10 a.m., and join the last Saturday walking tour of the year, starting at the Tourism Office.
The tour is free, and we will also attend the Donnell Home from 10 a.m.-noon.
The guide, William Pepper, will take you through the downtown sharing the stories of our town.
