We COULD NOT BELIEVE the amazing fun place that we found downtown on our last trip.

At Axecade they have ax throwing, video machines, dancing FOR FREE. There is a bar so we felt compelled to get drinks. Two floors of super fun times.

Out of the 100 best small towns in America, Far & Wide ranks Galena as the best in Illinois! 👉 https://bit.ly/3OPcdWX 🤩🇺🇸

Founded as a lead-mining town, Galena was once responsible for producing as much as 85 percent of the country’s lead. History buffs love visiting to admire the town’s beautiful architecture and romantic views of the Mississippi River. But Galena is not just a blast from the past; it also has art galleries, local breweries and great skiing in the winter. From spring to fall, you can go up the funicular to get views of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa.

We like the seafood at Salt Water Grill.
We arrived right as the restaurant opened so it was just starting to fill up.
