Atsion is now a ghost town but this historic sign references in the background one of the few structures not only still standing but still in use. It is a beautiful church and if you are interested in seeing pictures, please visit the other waymarks nearby concerning this church.
I found the cemetery to be of particular interest. I found a man who was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. I thought that to be very cool.
