Galena Country: Four Seasons, So Many Reasons

Tom Rynott, Communications Director for Galena Country Tourism, is our guest on the Outdoor Adventure Series today. Join us as we explore the historical and recreational treasures that make Galena a year-round destination. 

From its roots in lead mining and ties to nine Civil War generals, including Ulysses S. Grant, to the bustling Main Street filled with over 125 independent businesses, Galena offers a rich blend of history, culture, and outdoor fun. Tom will guide us through the seasonal offerings—from winter skiing at Chestnut Mountain Resort to spring kayaking and summer festivals.
