North Country Slate Chosen for Restoration of Iconic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse

Located in the middle of the Hudson River, just 100 miles from New York City, the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse has warned boaters and mariners about the mud flats and sandbars in the area since it was first commissioned in 1874. The lighthouse, which was originally one of more than a dozen on the Hudson River, is one of only seven remaining.
