The New Athens Historical Society in New Athens, IL, preserves and shares the rich history and heritage of this river village, dating back to its early settlement in the early 1800s. Founded by Adam W. Synder and General James Semple, the town originally named Tamarawa was developed alongside the Okaw River, honoring the Tamarawa Indians who once inhabited the region.

Over the years, New Athens has evolved from a flourishing settlement marked by businesses, homes, and community structures to a modern village that maintains its historical roots. The society fosters community engagement and educates visitors about the significant events and figures that shaped the area's development.
