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.
