Exciting Changes in Downtown Galena IL This Summer!
There have been some big changes to downtown Galena IL this summer in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we think they’ve been pretty great changes for the most part. We recognize that travel feels a little different to all of us right now, but we hope you feel comforted knowing our entire town is working hard to create a safe and healthy environment for all who choose to visit! You can find what we’re doing, specifically, on our website.
Travel studies released recently have shown that getaways that are closer to home and to smaller towns are considered to be one of the best options. That is great news for Galena, as we’re located just under 3 hours outside of Chicago, and easily drivable from other major cities like Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Paul, and Des Moines. When you get to downtown Galena IL, you’ll notice a few things are different!
The town of Galena has decided to turn its Main Street, which is normally bustling with both cars and people, into a pedestrian-only zone. It’s transformed our town and is allowing our local businesses to flourish once again. That is, of course, provided you take the time to get here and join us! With downtown Galena closed to traffic, staying nearby and within walking distance is more important than ever. Our Galena Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to stay, as we’re located just off Galena’s Main Street, and within easy walking distance to everything downtown Galena IL has to offer.
