U. S. Grant VFW Post 2665 - Galena, Illinois - VFW Posts on Waymarking.com

My Commentary:
I am not finding a lot of information on this Post. I have found, however, that the Post sponsors a bar, open to the public (important in a tourist town like Galena), called Grant's Bivouac. It is open from 10am to 1am.
