- kj055Waunakee, WI19 contributionsEven though Grant only lived here for a year, this home is a great historical stop! Most of the furniture is authentic and was used by Grant and his family.

- AuntDellIndianapolis, IN7 contributionsThis was a great addition to our trip. The price was right & the time of the tour was perfect. The driver provided a lot of detail.

- Cruiser0735684569160 contributionsWe stopped in because an employee in a shop on Main Street in Galena recommended it for the view. We had a cocktail and sat in the restaurant overlooking the Mississippi River.

- 19Loritz79Manitowoc, WI237 contributionsVery nice walking park with all kinds of great historical things. It’s a gorgeous walk over a bridge and the view of Galena is beautiful.Written May 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- augustdallmanbrillChicago, IL45 contributionsThe tour was brief but I'm fine with that. I liked the building and prefer a structure like this which isn't ornate in any way. Kind of basic but gives a good idea of how hard life was back in the day.Written August 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chloeChicago, IL1 contributionThis was so much fun! The goats were really sweet, and the yoga was accessible while also having opportunities to challenge yourself if you want. If I ever come back to Galena I’m DEFINITELY doing this again!Written July 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beth M7 contributionsDisclaimer: this review is based on the haunted tour, I did not actually visit the indoor part, instead we just visited the back stairs where the last moments of Mary Ann Millers life was spent. I would highly recommend taking the moment to walk down and hold space for the tragic death of this young woman.Written June 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rkh3201883 contributionsWe were driving past on the way from Chestnut Mountain Resort and decided to stop. It is free, interesting and has a beautiful view. There was some information about the aera, but I wish they would have had more explaining the sun dial in the middle and some of the area views. Definitely worth stopping at if you are nearby but I don't know if I would make a special trip.Written August 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cindy L34 contributionsStopped by on our way out of town. We enjoyed the sculptures and the tongue-in-cheek names. The park was free. The area was nicely shaded, so we were able to enjoy on it on a hot summer day.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
