Hudson-Athens Lighthouse to Ring Fog Bell in Commemoration of September 11 for 77 minutes!
On Friday, September 11, 2026, the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with a continuous 77-minute tolling of its original, historic 1874 fog bell across the Hudson River.
The commemoration will begin at 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and continue until 10:03 a.m., the time United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
For 25 years, the events of September 11 have remained part of our shared national memory. The ringing of the fog bell will offer a solemn reminder of the lives lost, the bravery shown, and the importance of standing together as a community.
The bell will ring across the Hudson River in remembrance of all those who lost their lives that day and in tribute to the first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, and ordinary citizens who acted with extraordinary courage to help save others.
