Since the summer of 1971 we have dedicated ourselves to inspiring community members and beyond to appreciate Alton's important heritage. AMHA's legacy includes preserving architectural information, illuminating influential personalities (Lovejoy, Wadlow, Lincoln, M. Davis), local artists and architects, and community/organizational educators.
We host monthly presentations, provide an annual Jazz festival dedicated to the master Miles Davis, support responsible environmental projects/organizations (Piasa Sierra Club, Veteran therapy garden, etc.), are members of Toast Master's International. AMHA also helps provide injured workers with alternative income options via the company ReEmployability.
