Introduction
Galena is a small city in Cherokee County in southeastern Kansas, characterized by its 19th century lead and zinc mining heritage and community culture. Located on the edge of the Ozark Plateau, the city is surrounded by rolling hills and extensive woodlands, preserving the quiet character of a mining town. In the late 1800s Galena was a prosperous mining community, and historic buildings and mining remnants can still be seen on the streets, with community parks and museums recording this mining history. The surrounding countryside is suitable for driving, fishing and outdoor exploration, offering a low-key destination to experience Midwestern small town life and mining history away from big cities.
