Wondering if there’s anyone here that comes to Galena for ‘getaway’ weekends. Either the Territories or Chestnut Mountain–Main Street or whatever. What’s your favorite spot in Galena and how often do you visit?
Thanks.
I liked the park just near the Main St. there. That’s all I can offer. I loved Galena in a way and hated it in another.
IMO, a tourist trap whose historic charm wears away quickly and gets rather boring unless you’re at a resort with other options (golf, etc). There literally is only main one road and one back road into town–traffic can get bad at peak times so plan accordingly.
If you want a getaway weekend nearby I’d suggest Milwaukee (seriously, lol) or one of the lake towns in Michigan.
YMMV.
We’ve only been there once, the historic stuff is fun and there’s lots of antique malls, so my wife enjoyed it and I was pretty much bored after the first couple antique shops. The historic places are of interest, but I can’t imagine going back.
Do people swim in the river?
