Founded in 1876, Galena, Kansas, is the oldest mining town in the state, thriving on the discovery of galena, the natural mineral form of lead ore. By the early 20th century, it had grown considerably, attracting nearly 30,000 residents and emerging as a significant hub of prosperity along the famous Route 66.
The Galena Mining Historical Museum, located in the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas train depot, preserves the town's rich mining history with local artifacts and offers insights into the community's remarkable revival, including the remarkable cleanup of over 1,200 acres of mining waste by 2007. Galena has also gained popularity through its connection to a beloved Pixar character, making it an essential stop for Route 66 travelers seeking adventure and a glimpse into the town's storied past.
