Raised by the Ghosts of Galena, Illinois

Frank Kennedy

Hello there! Welcome to my website. I am a local artist, author, photographer, historian, and musician. Inspired by the archaeology and history of the lead mining region, this site is dedicated to that special place in northwestern Illinois we call Galena.

Please enjoy my brushstrokes and stories, and leave me a message to let me know you were here!
