Galena History

Grants_home

The history of Galena is very fascinating, especially if you have roots there.  My wife and I started visiting Galena in 1984 staying in the condo at A16 Long Bay Point Road which we acquired from my cousin Patricia Cavanagh in 1995.  Sometime in the 2000's I discovered that the Lohenry ancestors had immigrated from Germany through the port of New Orleans, travelled up the Mississippi river and settled in Galena circa 1848.  There will be many updates in the future, but this is the beginning.  Since Galena is connected to Ulysses S Grant here is a view of his home.
