A postcard
of a town. Albany Chamber in the old railroad depot, a proper bookstore on the
square, restored Aztec Theater and Art Center in the Old Jail. The
1883 Courthouse
has clock and bell.
Albany Guide published twice a year to correspond
with the County's two major events: The Fort Griffin Fandandle (last two
weekends of June) and hunting season. If every small town was like this, we'd
never stay home. |
