Things to do in Athens

Athens is a classic college town set among the wooded hills of southeastern Ohio, home to Ohio University, founded in 1804 as the first university in the old Northwest Territory. The university and its medical school and hospital dominate the local economy, and the brick streets of Court Street and the College Green give the town its character. The surrounding region is rural and beautiful, with the Wayne National Forest, lakes and farms, and a strong local food and craft brewing scene supported by the Athens Farmers Market.
