| | Athena, Oregon history |
 | | For another angle on Athena history, take a visit to the Athena Cemetery, where family names reverberate, some gravestone sculptures of yore are unusual or artistic, the views out over the fields to the Blue Mountains are lovely, and the shade is welcome on a hot day. |
 | | The Athena library recently received the gift from Ronald and Fay Haverland of Richards' family Bible, with his signature in fine penmanship, and a record of his marriage on Dec. 21, 1878, to Maria Louise Meador. |
 | | As part of a grant from the Oregon Council for the Humanities in 2004 to the Athena Library Friends Association, specialist/genealogist Connie Lenzen was able to produce a great many more facts about Richards, his travels, his wife, and his properties by using land records, old newspapers, and other primary documents. |
