WELCOME TO GALENA
Galena, IL is a perfectly-preserved 19th century town, nestled in the Mississippi River Valley. Galena captures so many of the things that make small-town America special, in a way you're unlikely to find anywhere else.

Galena is a place full of memory, and a place where your best vacation memories can be made.
On Friday morning, we’ll enjoy breakfast at the hotel and then travel to the Downtown area of Galena. Activities later this morning include a Galena Trolley Tour. After an included lunch, you will have time to shop and browse the many stores on Main Street. Departing at 2:30 pm, we’ll make our way home, arriving in Quincy around 7:00 pm.
