It’s true, you can’t change time. But if you spend it right, it can change you. So, if you want to make the most of your time, come to a place that’s frozen in it. In Galena Country, we’ve never been like anywhere else, and we’re proud of it. To us, history isn’t about endings, it’s where stories begin. We know one good story always leads to another.
Founded in 1826, we have a history of seeing things others don’t. When you’re here, you’ll see and do things you won’t see anywhere else. We call it being original because we may be old, but we’re never the same old thing.
The best thing about being where time forgot is that you can lose all track of it. Join us, in another time, in a completely different place.
