Pow Wow Days 2025

Here come POW WOW DAYS, starting July 31! The TCA has organized another entertaining weekend, chock-a-block (yeah, THAT's quite the historic word) with activities, music, and hometown fun.
We invite you to create a little time to wander on down Main Street to Museum on Main and then on up to Gallery on Galena by the tracks. We promise you won't be disappointed!

* Additions to the rock garden to the right of the MoM stairs: 1960s street sign, capstones from the bandstand formerly in the West Park, millstone that ground local grain in the 1800s
