WorldMark Galena / Wyndham Galena

As you enter downtown Galena, you find a mining boomtown perfectly untouched by age since its mid-nineteenth century heyday. Old homes and buildings have been meticulously preserved, and much of Galena today is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Tourism is now the city's main attraction, with specialty shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants appealing to the more than a million visitors annually. And nearby, you'll find ample outdoor activities at Apple River Canyon State Park, four challenging world-class golf courses, equestrian trails and even some downhill ski runs.
