2011 ATHENS LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT

In July and August 2011, look for decorated models of the historic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse in local businesses in Athens and some of the surrounding communities.

On Sunday, September 11, 2011, the lighthouses will all be shown at the Athens Volunteer Fire Department.  Then they will be auctioned off to raise money for the Athens Cultural Center, the Hudson Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society and the artists.

Local artist Robert Lahm has done a special work of art depicting the Hudson Athens Lighthouse.  His work is being shown in the window of the Athens Cultural Center.  This exceptional model will be raffled off to benefit the Athens Cultural Center.  Tickets are available fo $5 each at the Athens Cultural Center.
