Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Tucked away in northwest Illinois, Galena is a tiny town that tends to make visitors feel like they've taken a step back in time; more than 85 percent of the town's buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town is famous for being the former home of Ulysses S. Grant, the country's 18th president, and visitors who are interested in this aspect of the area's history can tour Grant's beautiful Italianate home. However, there are plenty of other things to see here as well, including the historic Turner Hall, the beautifully landscaped Galena Grant Park, and the West Street Sculpture Park.
