Hudson-Athens Lighthouse to Ring Historic Fog Bell in Commemoration of September 11 for 77 minutes!

The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society will ring the lighthouse’s historic fog bell on Friday, September 11, 2026, marking 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Beginning at 8:46 a.m., when the first plane struck the World Trade Center’s North Tower, and continuing until 10:03 a.m., when Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the bell will ring in remembrance of those lost and in tribute to the first responders, volunteers, and citizens who showed extraordinary courage.

Community members are invited to gather at Athens Riverfront Park or Henry Hudson Riverfront Park in Hudson to listen, reflect, and remember together.
