War Room Exhibit
Incredibly, nine of Galena's citizens became Union Generals for service rendered during the Civil War, including the most famous of all--Ulysses S. Grant.

We feature a large exhibit area devoted to original weaponry, prints, letters and photographs. Keeping watch over our gallery is the original "Peace in Union" oil painting (9' x 12') depicting Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomatox in 1865. (Quality prints of "Peace in Union" are available in our Gift Shop.)
