Athens winter activities

Athens has a settler heritage of over 200 years; it’s one of the oldest towns in Ohio. In fact, it low-key predates the state. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as Athens’ actual history goes. There’s solid archaeological evidence that our area was significantly populated for thousands of years; we’ve got evidence in some local excavation sites that suggest people have been here since Clovis. That’s like, 12,000 years.

Whether you’re an international student, you’re taking classes over break, or you’ve just outgrown going home during the Holidays, it’s easy to stay in your apartment and get cabin fever during Southeast Ohio winters. They’ve got some freezing days and some unnaturally warm days, but the one thing you can always count on in our newly-temperate rainforest is that it will be WET.

Thank you, Climate Change.
