Galena, Illinois was founded in 1828 as a mining and shipping town. The Galena River at one time was deep enough for steam paddlewheelers to come up the eight miles and discharge their goods. The Old Market House was where those goods were sold to retailers. Galena, at one time before and during the Civil War, was the largest port city between Minneapolis and Saint Louis. This Lucky 7 celebrates this history and more of the town of Galena.
