Area Attractions and Activities:

Visit a bygone era where steamboating and lead mining once ruled the day. Step back in time; explore a region that was home to nine Civil War generals and a United States President.

Gain additional insight into the hearts and minds of people who founded this area. Some of early America’s most famous architectural styles including Italianate, Greek Revival and Queen Anne abound throughout Galena and Jo Daviess County. Hardworking immigrants who came from far and near to mine their fortunes in lead ore left behind a visual feast of stately 19th century architecture.

In the county’s northern-most corner nestled on a Mississippi River bluff is East Dubuque’s Gramercy Park, the final resting place of the area’s first inhabitant. The park’s 26 burial mounds (circa 100 AD-500 BC) honor departed members of the Hopewell Nation.

Nearby in Galena, learn the early lead mining methods that made the city famous. View an original 1830s mineshaft at the Galena/Jo Daviess County History Museum.
