Galena Country Tourism

Galena Country transports people to another time and place to enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences and adventures. Some historic, some timeless, and some brand-new –but always original.

Greetings from Galena Country, encompassing the City of Galena and Jo Daviess County, nestled along the Mississippi River in the upper northwest corner of Illinois.

It’s true, you can’t change time. But if you spend it right, it can change you. So, if you want to make the most of your time, come to a place that’s frozen in it. In Galena Country, we’ve never been like anywhere else and we’re proud of it. To us, history isn’t about endings, it’s where stories begin. We know one good story always leads to another.

Founded in 1826, we have a history of seeing things others don’t. When you’re here, you’ll see and do things you won’t see anywhere else. We call it being original because we may be old, but we’re never the same old thing.
