This is the oldest building in Galena IL and actually one of the oldest structures in Illinois. This building is made completely of limestone and was built into the side of a large hill. The house is just cool to stop by and admire but, there are guided tours. I highly suggest paying for the guided tour, it's $10 per person and it's about a 30 minute tour of the outside the ground level and the top floor. The guides are very knowledgeable and know everything about the house and all of the items in the house. The guides know all the back stories of the people who lived in the house and what they did day to day. Don't miss this one. It's one of the more fascinating history tours.
It was an awesome and very educational tour. I love historic places and hearing the stories of how they came to be. If you're ever in Galena you have to check them out.
Galena a historic small town has so much to offer! This is one such gem built in 1862
Suzie was great, knowledgeable and fun. Ranger was so well behaved and the tour was worth every penny. Thx again Suzie
We went on a few historical tours while in Galena but this was probably one of my favorites. Very knowledgeable docents, very interesting tour, and it was affordable and not too long!
