GLHA is a local non-profit organization that focuses on the history of Galena and honors it in several ways. It was founded by a passionate group of Galena residents who wanted to provide an opportunity for homeowners not only to place a plaque in front of their home, but also to learn more about the history of their property. 

  Although President Grant and other notable people from Galena's rich past are well-known, there are so many other "everyday Galenians who also had a significant role in shaping this amazing community. By sharing their stories, we hope to elevate those individuals and their
homes.

  The plaque project has generated a great deal of interest, even though we are only getting started. We are excited about upcoming endeavors that will support our efforts to protect, preserve, and document our historic community.
