About Galena

Galena, Ohio (2020)

Families are drawn to the area for the strong Big Walnut Local School District and the easy access to the outdoors. You can spend weekends kayaking on the reservoir, exploring the nature trails at Ruffner Park, or biking the Ohio to Erie Trail into neighboring Sunbury. When you need city amenities, Interstate 71 and Route 3 make for a quick drive to Polaris, Westerville, and downtown Columbus.
