Congress’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold just one old photo of Congress. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
The story so far

Nothing in Congress is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Congress has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Morrow County Courthouse And Jail in Mount Gilead, 5.6 miles away.
