The Galena Foundation received the 2026 proceeds from the Joseph E. Miller Charitable Trust, delivered by UMB Financial Advisor Gavin Doyle.  The distribution for 2026 is over $39,083.

"Joe" Miller passed away in 2008 and left behind a trust that continues to help preserve Galena's historic treasures.  The proceeds from the trust must be spent and have helped the Galena Foundation make a real impact in our community.

The Bicentennial Edition of "Galena, Illinois - A Timeless Treasure" will be available while supplies last!

A perfect gift for your graduating student, history enthusiast, or your coffee table.  Learn Galena's history from the beginning of time to modern days and enjoy beautiful photographs through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Available soon at a retailer near you!
