Making the most of your visit to Athens

If you’re reading this, chances are SOMETHING has already sold you on the idea of coming to Athens. Be it retirement, a sporting event, a weekend retreat, or just plain curiosity . . . you’ve either made the trip or are planning to; and, if we’re doing our job as residents, you’ll be made to feel welcome.

To better plan for your trip, find the City of Athens Tourism Department online at www.athenstx.org. You may find an upcoming event at the Henderson County Fair Park appealing. Perhaps details in our online itineraries sparked you to gather information about the East Texas Arboretum, The Henderson County Fairpark Complex, The Henderson County Performing Arts Center or the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. Maybe the site pointed you in the direction of a series of GPS clues that will lead you to hidden “treasures” throughout town. Whatever activities you decide upon, we’re going to make sure that you enjoy yourself!
