About Downtown Athens, TN
The courthouse square and it's surrounding streets mark the center of Historic Downtown Athens. An eclectic blend of architectural styles speak of the history and development in the commercial district of this Southern town first established in 1821.
Today, one might find a private residence in an 1836 railroad office, a trendy boutique in a 1920's grocery store, a B&B in a 1909 private residence or a lawyer's office in an old movie theatre. A 1950's style lunch counter/soda fountain is still where people meet and greet one another over a "daily special".
