Earlier this year, the Preservation League of New York State named the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse one of its Seven to Save for 2020-2021.
Yesterday, the League published an article explaining something the average fan of the lighthouse may not know about the structure: "Shoring Up the Lighthouse's Future." The article reveals why and how the lighthouse was constructed where it stands on the river and what preserving it will entail. It is recommended reading.
Thank you for the illustration and bringing this to our attention, Carole. It is such an icon in the area - being better educated about it is key to helping ensure its existence for years to come.
