Galena Kandy Kitchen
* COUPLE'S & FAMILY FAOVRITE FOR A SWEET TREAT * Galena's Kandy Kitchen was founded on a dream: a dream to continue an old family tradition of making small batches of fine hand-dipped chocolates in an age of mass production of machine-made chocolates. The Kandy Kitchen starts its candy making process by weighing the finest basic ingredients, including fresh cream and butter, in large copper kettles. The batch is cooked to a specified temperature and then hand processed to form individual pieces. Each piece is hand-dipped with a heavy coating of pure milk or semi-sweet chocolate.
Galena Cellars Winery

Grant Park
* COUPLE'S & FAMILY FAVORITE SPOT AND PARK * This beautifully landscaped park lies beside the Galena River. Grant Park features a pavilion with tables, a gazebo, fountain, a play lot, basketball court, historic cannons and monuments, and a walk bridge across the Galena River to Galena's downtown historic shopping district. The Galena’s Fickbohm-Hissem Post 193 of the American Legion commissioned the installation of a bust of Sergeant Henry H. Taylor in the park in the spring of 2023. Taylor was born in Guilford Township and fought in the Civil War in the 45th Illinois Infantry, which was from Galena. Stop by and learn about his achievements and enrich your historical knowledge about Galena.
Galena
Once-a-year trips to historic Galena Country are lovely, but experienced visitors know the fun goes on all year round in this charming destination. From snowshoeing at Casper Bluff Land & Water Reserve in the glistening white winter to watching the Great Galena Balloon Race at the peak of high summer, this northwest Illinois playground offers a full year’s worth of adventure and enjoyment. It really is that charming!

Blaum Bros. Distilling Co.
Blaum Bros. Distilling Co. distills and produces fine spirits in the heart of Galena, Illinois — a town steeped in distilling history. Through the selection of the best grains in the local area and abroad, the brothers hand craft spirits by meticulously controlling the entire process — from the milling of the raw grains, to the mashing, fermentation, and distillation on their custom made copper still. They look forward to providing you with a tour, a tipple, and chat about their passion (It’s like, their pleasure, in other people’s leisure).
