History in the making: New museum plans revealed (By David Waller)

Excerpt from the article below:

Plans for a new museum in downtown Albany were formally presented last week, with local stakeholders gathering Thursday afternoon to review architectural renderings and discuss next steps for what promises to be a major new attraction for the city.

The museum, which will spotlight the legacies of both the Buffalo Hunters and Buffalo Soldiers who once lived and worked in the Fort Griffin region, will be constructed on the lot just east of the historic T.E. Jackson Warehouse. Local rancher and historian Cliff Teinert is spearheading the project, working with a group of community advisors and architect Jeff Garnett. Garnett’s design draws on the materials and proportions of surrounding buildings, including the neighboring T.E. Jackson structure, the oldest wooden building in town.
