Two Athens Buildings And The Cheap Jeep
Gary Checks Out The Interior Of An Athens Building
Another Athens Building
Athens was born in 1909 after the discovery of gold ore. A year later Athens had a lodging house, store and saloon. Although the ore assayed at $1000 a ton, the quality turned out to be disappointing and the boom eventually ended. Ownership of the Warrior mine, the area's main producer changed several times throughout the years as on-again off-again activity continued until 1939. Small one and two man operations continued until recently. We revisited Athens in 2011 and discovered that the two wooden buildings have fallen. Athens is well secluded with plenty of wood for camping.
