Galena, Illinois Hotels

Set along the Galena River, Galena is a small town settled in northern Illinois. Rich in history, the story of Galena is visible in the city's architecture, thanks to the Galena Historic District. The Old Market House State Historic Site tells the story of Galena's local history, while the famed St. Micheal's Church is known on a national level. The Chicago metropolitan area is but a four-hour drive away, so why not visit the Windy City?

Just off US Hwy 20 is the Grant Home State Historic Site - home of President Ulysses S. Grant and First Lady Julia Grant. Next to the home sits the controversial statue of the First Lady, which is said to resemble Mrs. Butterworth. Why not drive by it yourself and see who it resembles more, the First Lady or the iconic face that brands America's favorite syrup. A Galena major event is the Country Fair in Grant Park, a huge craft show drawing in thousands of tourists every year. Enjoy your time in northern Illinois.
