The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society

In 1950 the US Coast Guard automated the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse which no longer required personal being on site 24/7 In 1980 a group of local citizens on both sides of the river organized to save the structure and its history. The USCG is still responsible for maintaining the light in the lantern room. The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society was formed and became a 501c(3) organization known as HALPS and continues to this day in 2021. It conducts public tours, school tours for area children, and rental opportunities for citizens. HALPS also puts much effort in saving and persevering the building. This half hour video gives one a sense where this effort is today and what challenges lie ahead.
