Great variety and good prices. Was expecting hire prices given it was on the Main Street in town. We found a couple of things we had to have.

When I think antique mall... I think a large building with a large variety of antiques and collectables... this was a small quaint shop, but I was disappointed due to the size and the amount of stuff to choose from. I thought it would be amazing by all of the comments on here and it just didn't amaze me... it was however clean and well organized

My wife and I aren't professional antiquers. But we love to browse through antique stores while on vacation. Just like we love to browse through book stores. And if you have a passion for antiques, you are encouraged to visit historic Galena, Illinois, which features as many antique stores as it has restaurants and boutiques. One of the finest is Tin Pan Alley Antique Mall. Located at 303 South Commerce Street, across from the historic Galena Post Office, it has been in business for 25 years and is open from 10 to 5 daily. Specifically, it specializes in a unique collection of 1800s antiques, which are increasingly difficult to find today. On one of our visits, we uncovered a Sterling silver napkin ring holder with a family signature dating to the mid-1800s, which rounded out my wife's extensive collection. Other items on display are hand-crafted folk art, pottery, Victorian toys, French and English furniture, vintage garden collectibles, vintage jewelry, original artwork, architectural remnants, kitchen ware, fine china, vases, handbags and sculpture. If you have the time--you're on vacation, aren't you?--it's fun to browse through the aisles and discover something you weren't expecting to find.

More of a shop than a "mall" but with lots of interesting high-quality items. Prices are steep, but as you'd expect for a tourist town.

This is a nice little shop, not really what I consider a "mall". Had a lot of nice items, especially old books. Owner was very friendly. We happened upon it off the main street and were glad we did.

My husband and I visited this shop while on a romantic weekend getaway. The shop itself is tucked away off of Main Street but it's definitely a spot I would recommend making a point of checking out. The owner has the shop well organized, many cute antiques including multiple items from the Civil War. There was even an adorable little dog that came out to greet us. Make sure to make a stop at Tin Pan Alley Antique Mall!

The antique shops in town leave a lot to be desired. This one was small and not much to look at. It was just off the Main Street and easy to find but not worth the stop.

Galena used to be antique heaven. Down to 2 which have little to offer. Allergies to dust? Dont go. Parking is still atrocious. Remember to bring a full tank of gas to patrol for one. My 2 cents
