Restoring With Purpose: What Our Donors Say
Garr Tool Company
"So much can be gained by looking at our history. Whether looking at our own family tree or our history as a community. I have spent most of my life in Alma and learned some time ago that Mr. Ammi Wright had the greatest influence on the expansion of our city. I am so pleased that we are not only saving his wonderful 19th-century mansion but creating a place where our community family can see and touch some of our past."
John Leppien
President
Avalon & Tahoe Manufacturing, Inc.
"Avalon & Tahoe believes in preserving the history of Alma and promoting family values. That is why both the company and the owner, Jim Wolf, are supporting the Wright House Project. The finished product will preserve an important part of our local history and provide an interactive environment for families to engage in and learn."
