Historic Galena, Illinois | Things To Do (and yes I know I'm not pronouncing it right. oops!)
Things to do in Historical Galena, Illinois. On today’s travel adventure we traveled to a small town near Chicago, Illinois. Close the border of Illinois and Iowa for exploration. This small town is very well persevered with 19th century buildings and impressive Civil War history.
I used to take history for granted. I think it’s much more important to me now that I’m not having to pass a test at school regarding something 75 years ago. This little town was home Ulysses S Grant before and after the Civil War. Known for amazing sunsets, great food and expansive history, you’ll want to find a place to watch the sunrise or where sun comes up over the Mississippi river.
There are museums and cafes on every corner. Over 85% of Galena is listed on the national register of historic places. The entire town has been renovated to look like it did hundreds of years ago. It’s like stepping back in time. You gotta check this place out. Just Get Out There.
