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

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Alma yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.
