Help Wanted!
Old photos of your
Ancestors & your Athens County
community.
Pictures help
us make the connection to those who have gone before us. There is
something very moving about being able to look back
through time , with the help of an old photo, to see the
ancient face of a grandparent or other relative you never
knew. It's just as exciting to be able to see how and
where your ancestors lived so long ago.
With your
help, those searching for their ancestors will be able to
access your photos, here on this webiste, free of
charge. The photos you share will remain your copyright
property, your name will be added as "submitter," and you can
remove them from the site anytime you want.
I need your
help. Please consider sharing those old photos. EMAIL ME here.
I'd love to
hear from
you! |

Athens was one of the earliest
organized counties in Ohio. Athens County was created on February
20, 1805 and was formed from Washington County. The County was named
for Athens, Greece, as the state university was there. The County
Seat is Athens.

Old News
The Athens
Messenger June 27, 1879 The wonder of the Century, Edison's Phonograph, will
be exhibited at the M.E. Church in this place on Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week. No one should miss seeing and hearing
this prodigious marvel. Admission 25 cents; children
10.
The Athens
Messenger July 4, 1878 But meager gatherings
assembled at the M.E. Church on Friday and Saturday evenings to
witness the world's wonder, the Phonograph. Probably this was
owing to the preference of most folks to do their own
talking.
