POPULAR OPINION: Galesburg can be a boring place to live or visit... UNPOPULAR OPINION: It doesn’t have to be… Listen, after graduating GHS in 2001, I wanted nothing more than to FLEE Galesburg– it was boring, there was nothing to do, and there was no potential for growth. Or at least that's what I thought at 18. But after coming back "home" at 40-ish to open my business, Galesburg City Tours, I’m seeing this place from a completely different vantage point. The problem with living or visiting a place like Galesburg is that it CAN, in fact, be a boring experience… but ONLY if you don’t have plans. I’ve been intentional with what I’m doing when I’m in town and honestly, I’ve been living my best life and have really found some hidden gems that I’m thankful to have come across at this point in my life! Hidden Hills Winery was absolutely what I needed after sweating it out with my new Galesburg Pickleball friends at Bateman Park last Saturday. If you’ll be visiting town soon and are ready to experience Galesburg’s best-kept secrets, from charming historical sites to cozy local eateries and events, but taking the time to plan the perfect trip IS NOT something you want to do — let’s chat so I can help you have a more enjoyable time while in town!. 📜✨ As someone raised in Galesburg, a seasoned traveler, content creator, and now a business owner in town, I can help you craft the perfect, most personalized itinerary that highlights the unique beauty and culture of Galesburg- and offer you some perks you won’t be able to get anywhere else.

It was such a pleasure hosting Hermann Muelder's grandson last week on our Iconic City History Tour 😊 Hermann Muelder was a 1927 graduate of Knox College, he was known to college alumni and his friends as ”Mr. Knox College.” Muelder also taught history at Knox College from 1934 until 1974. From 1956 - 1967 he also served as Dean of the College and acting president from 1973 to 1974. He retired from teaching in 1974 and was named college historian and honorary trustee. He remained all his life an affectionate student of Knox College history and advocate for the college. . , #knoxproud #galesburgcitytours #enjoyillinois #undergroundrailroad #westernillinois #amtrakvacations
