In this video I failed to mention that Ulysses S. Grant did very briefly stay at a home in 1860 in Galena with his family and is open for tours. We didn’t even drive past the house this visit but would like to do more history tours such as his home upon a future visit. There’s a lot more to uncover in Galena’s history! But this visit was more for recreational purposes 🙂
Great video...I just came across your channel...After seeing this video ..Makes me want to come Through for a visit...Currently in Maryland..Looking to move as well...This video gives me a chance whatis there while dong my own research,, Great job
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and found it useful. Finally working on the Chicago one and plan to finish up in the near future. But yeah Galena was a good time. Need to return to see more of its history and other offerings.
I feel it's missing the point to not mention Ulysses S Grant and that fact that it was his home for a while and that Abraham Lincoln gave a speech from the historic hotel there. More interesting that details of coffee houses and grocery stores
Thanks for the feedback! I did tackle this issue in my top comment. We didn’t do much history this go around so it wasn’t really the video’s focus but more or less just what we did on this short weekend trip and those things to do on Main Street. I definitely missed a few pointers there I could have added in though. Work in progress. 👍🏻

My uncle has been to Galena, because he loves going there all of the time
Well done man! Definitely makes we want to take a weekend getaway up there
Thanks! Yeah hard to believe growing up in Illinois I’ve never been there before. 🤔
I love Galena. My mom owns a vacation home there
@@eriknelson7077 Such a nice area tucked away in northwest Illinois. Especially during Fall.
I graduated high school from Galena. It has totally changed to a yuppie Outpost for affluent Chicago ex pats .
I could see that. Being our first and only visit I have nothing to compare to (past and present).
