American Legion building sold, to open as reception hall in May

The American Legion Post 285 Hall at 571 E. North St. in Galesburg has been sold and will reopen as Cedar Creek Hall.Few details are known, including who the owners are, but Galesburg City Council documents for their Mar. 5 meeting show an item to approve an additional Class A liquor license for Cedar Creek Hall.

They say the owners are designing it as “event venue,meeting site, and reception location.”

For nearly a year in a half it’s been known that Post 285 had fallen into financial distress there have been other deals to sell the building that had fallen through.

They even at one point had conversations with the city to operate as a co-op but that deal didn’t come to fruition.

WGIL will update you with additional details as they become available.
