The small town most Chicagoans haven't found yet.
Galena is a 19th-century river town in the far northwest corner of Illinois, where Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin meet. Its brick Main Street is lined with independent shops, restaurants and tasting rooms, and it is the hometown of Ulysses S. Grant.
The hills around it are the surprise. The Galena Territory is a wooded community of private homes around Lake Galena, with trails and big valley views. Tower House sits on a hillside there, about 12 minutes from downtown.
Galena, close by.
