Athens

Athens sits in the rolling, wooded countryside of East Texas in the United States, where Lake Athens lies just east of the city. As the seat of Henderson County, it serves a broad rural area shaped by ranching, farming and lake recreation. The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is one of Athens’s defining institutions: this Texas Parks and Wildlife Department facility combines a working fish hatchery with aquariums and exhibits on the state’s freshwater species. In town, the Henderson County Courthouse gives the civic center a formal focal point, while local restaurants and independent businesses keep the pace distinctly regional.
