RECOGNIZES-CITY OF GALENA

This bill is a House resolution that formally recognizes the City of Galena for its 200th anniversary in 2026, which coincides with the United States' 250th anniversary. It highlights the town's historical significance, including its role in the early lead mining industry, its connection to former President Ulysses S. Grant, and its location along the historic U.S. Route 20. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture of appreciation from the Illinois House of Representatives to the city. A copy of the resolution will be presented to Galena to honor the community's shared history and its plans for upcoming celebrations.
