Early Athens papers shaped Hocking Valley history
The Athens Mirror and Literary Register began in 1828 under A. G. Brown as a pioneer in the Hocking Valley. It evolved into The Athens Messenger and the Hocking Valley Gazette edited by Abraham Vorhes, later expanded and sold to N. H. and A. J. Wah Vorhes. The paper aligned with Republican views as the region’s press grew. The item also recalls local mischief and social scenes in Athens.
