Dee Levens has owned and operated the Galena Trolley Tours and Depot Theater since the beginning, way, way back, and has done more for tourism and the City of Galena than she will ever get credit for. I have rode the Trolleys and thoroughly enjoyed the narrated tour, going to all the historic sites, the fabulous Linmar Gardens, and the majestic Mansions on the Bluffs, where the Elite lived and looked down on the city a century and more ago. The Depot Theater is once again featuring the famous Folk Singer and Playwright Jim Post, who is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his musical performance of Galena Rose; How Whiskey Won The West, said by the Washington Post to have been fantastic when he performed at the Smithsonian. Call Dee for Showtime, and Tour information, at 815-777-1248
