About This Item

Alb Coin

With roots reaching back to the simple Indian villages of hundreds of years ago, this rich tract of land has grown into the fulfillment of a dream for German refugee Col. John G. Cullmann. Beginning in the 1870's Col. Cullmann began to develop the area along nearby railroad tracks as a place where his fellow Germans could begin a new life in a land of opportunity. Col. Cullmann, named to the Alabama Hall of Fame, is credited with attracting over 10,000 German immigrants to the area.

Great good-will geocoin; with my German background I can appreciate the coin's message. We'll be taking this geocoin back to WI with us on our return trip; and hopefully place it heading southward. Thanks for starting this geocoin.
