GALENA MINING AND HISTORICAL MUSEUM IN GALENA, KS
Moved to the curb along Route 66 in 1983 the Galena Railroad Depot was built in 1900. The terminal was built for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, the M-K-T Katy Line and was converted into the Galena Mining & History museum. Galena Kansas was named for the lead sulfide mineral-Galena, the world's most important ore of lead. And was part of the Tri-State mining area of S/E Kansas, S/W Missouri and N/E Missouri. After the mines closed in the 1970’s the 30,000 populace of Galena declined. Latitude: 37° 04’ 30” N Longitude: 94° 39’ 32” W
