Stories Behind Peace Valley

Stories Behind Peace Valley offers a glimpse into the history, businesses, mining operations, lake project and the lives and activities of those who lived and worked there before the man made lake was created. Lake Galena and the village of New Galena were named after the discovery of the mineral in the valley that changed the future of the lives and livelihood of the residents and businesses forever. The book is organized as a virtual tour, stopping at places of interest along the trail that encircles the lake. This upcoming publication is a timely release with the 300th anniversary of New Britain Township approaching in 2023.
