Albion Michigan continues to go through many changes. This website offers content on this page AlbionMich.net, and also now offers history by Frank Passic, and news from The Recorder newspaper.
Our goal is to support local businesses, educational institution, and local news sources. See news from local restaurants who are offering carryout food during the rapidly developing Coronavirus crisis. See the local news page with official news sources streaming, and also a page that relate to the Coronavirus news from Michigan. See the Index of Albion Websites, where we link to official and community websites.
We look forward to seeing everyone in person, and wish the best to people now, wherever they are. Below, we share some current posts, including a new directory of Albion Churches Online .
