Much of Galena today is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. As you enter downtown Galena, you will find a mining boomtown
untouched by time since its mid 19th-century heyday. Homes and
buildings have been meticulously preserved. Tourism is now the city's
main attraction, with specialty shops, boutiques, galleries, and
restaurants appealing to the more than 1 million visitors annually.
Nearby you'll find ample outdoor activities at Apple River Canyon
State Park, four challenging world-class golf courses, equestrian
trails, and even some downhill ski runs
