Ann did a great job of making history come to life during the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed her comments. You may want to bring a light jacket as the trading post had cave-like temperatures.

Go back in time to see how Galena got started and learn about one family's fame and misfortune. Very cool little tour.

This is the oldest building in Galena and the tour is really good. I am actually a social studies teacher and I learned a lot! There are a lot of artifacts from the mining days and the guide (a woman whose name is escaping me) did a great job explaining them. I think this would be great for anyone interested...

We tour many old homes and still learned things at the Dowling House we have never heard before. The guide was personable, friendly and full of interesting information. I definitely recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed our tour of the Dowling House. Ted was our guide and he really makes history fun! It was fascinating to hear about the Dowlings and see how they lived. Worth it!

Skip the unfriendly Belvedere home. The tour guides at the Dowling house are fantastic and the home is very impressive.
