Galesburg Historical Society II, Inc.

The Galesburg Historical Society is a non-profit, non-political, non-discriminatory organization incorporated in February 2003. All activities are open to the public.

 The goals of The Society include discovering and preserving information and items pertinent to Galesburg history, and other communities, in as much as they relate to local history.

 We strive to preserve relevant historical documents, accounts, and articles. We work with individuals, families, and organizations to acquire and restore materials and structures of historical and/or architectural merit.

Members of the Galesburg Historical Society spend the spring and summer months preparing for annual Galesburg Railroad Days activities. The Society is very involved by providing a Tram Tour when visitors can “meet and greet” some of the historical figures of old Galesburg as they ride around town on our versionof the trams of yesteryear.
