~ Memories of Alger County ~

A picture is worth a thousand words, it's said. Sometimes, the picture completes the story, and sometimes a picture is all there is to remember an event or a person.

This section is where we'll place all our Alger County photographs, from people to places. If you have pictures you'd like to see displayed at this site, please contact me.
