Welcome...
Welcome to Albany and Shackelford County!
You hold in your hands the Albany Guide published
by the Albany News. We hope that it will provide
information you're looking for about our town and
prove to be an invaluable resource
Albany is a community rich in history and character,
which is something we strive to perpetuate and nurture.
We are proud of our past, but we have our eyes firmly
focused on the future
We feel that Albany has a lot to offer and hope that
you will use this guide to acquaint yourself with our
town. The pages of this guide are filled with stories
and pictures of just a few of the many attractions
we offer.
This guide is also filled with advertisements so that
you can find the services or facilities you need during
your visit. Without the support of our advertisers this

guide would not be possible.
This publication is meant to serve both the visitor
and the newcomer to our town, to make them more
familiar with what we have to offer. It can also serve as
a reminder to our local residents of just what a special
place Albany really is.
The Albany Guide is published twice a year - in
the spring prior to the Fort Griffin Fandangle and in
the fall before hunting season.
You can help us make this endeavor even more
complete by telling us if we have left'out information
important to you and by offering suggestions. It is our
desire to provide the best guide anywhere and with
your help, we can do it.
Thanks for your support and enjoy your stay
- whether it be for a day or a lifetime.
