We especially enjoyed an exhibit of prints of Currier & Ives paintings depicting Civil War battles. With each print there was a brief description of the battle and the general leading it. We bought the set of postcard size for our grandson who is interested in the Civil War. This was the highlight of my visit to Galena.

Very helpful people! A great collection of information on the life of US Grant. They gave us great input as to where to visit and great directions to local wineries. They have brochures on where to stay, where to eat and what to see. Don't hessitate to ask the folks in the center for advice.

We did not know about this site, until we took the trolley ride and rode past it, as it is not on the main street of town. But we are so happy we visited it....so much history and wonderful artifacts dealing with President Grant...and things that he and Mrs. Grand actually owned.

What a nice surprise here. Almost like a welcome center with really lots of cool president grant memorabilia. Folks working the desk knew everything there that was to know about galena. Lots of brochures of the area to pick up. Very friendly. The massive president grant displays have items from the grant family that only will be found at this...

The Old Market House is also Galena's Welcome Center and it is very welcoming. There is a huge collection of Grant items as well as items related to the city. There is a very nice display of items related to the annual Boy Scout Pilgramage in the entrance.
