Galena stands out from many cities across the United States as most of the city is part of the Galena Historic District. Sites and buildings dating back centuries remain well-maintained, with some turned into museums and tour exhibits. Examples of these include the General Ulysses S. Grant Home as well as the Dowling House, which is the oldest building in Galena. You can also try some of Illinois’ best-tasting booze in Galena, prepared by the local wineries, breweries, and distilleries.
As the county’s attractions are mostly in the town city, you may find yourself worn out after a day of sightseeing. To rejuvenate yourself, you should consider renting a home with a swimming pool to relax in. For options, take a look at our list of the top Airbnbs with pool near Galena, Illinois.
