Main Street: Galena’s “Helluva Half Mile”

If you’ve been to Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, which is filled with incredible shopping, dining, and general fun, then you probably understand Galena’s reference to it’s Main Street as the “Helluva Half Mile.” Quite simply, Main Street in downtown Galena is where all the best shopping, dining, and entertainment in Galena are located.  And, for your added convenience when you stay with us at Jail Hill Inn, it’s just steps outside our front door.

In total, there are more than 125 shops and restaurants nestled along Galena’s Main Street.  Fantastic town staples like candy and ice cream shops, spas, boutique stores, great restaurants, and even wine tasting rooms occupy space in this small section of town. “Galena’s Helluva Half Mile” on Main Street is made even more charming by its historic feel, where all the buildings date back to the 1800’s, not to mention the notable absence of bland chain stores.  It’s hard to capture the essence of this charming town and it’s many Main Street residents.  It’s truly an experience you’ll want to have for yourself.
