Their research shows that the city offers an eclectic mix of favored local shops, galleries and boutiques. Those who stay at our foremost Illinois resort always find treasures while shopping in Galena.

Carl Johnson's Gallery, for instance, features the work of an accomplished local artist who specializes in painting architecture and landscapes. Using a pen, ink and watercolor, he depicts the architecture that characterizes the historic city of Galena. His book, “The Building of Galena: An Architectural Legacy,” holds 15 watercolor illustrations. Guests to our Illinois resort love the book, as it allows them to take a piece of Galena's architecture home with them.

Also on the list is the Simply Elegant Boutique. This trendy women's shop claims, “Life is elegant, dress the part.” With a collection of sportswear, work wear, specialty wear, outerwear, shoes and accessories, guests to our Illinois resort love this shop. Simply Elegant also provides a great line of specialty gift items for women.

Guests to our Illinois resort seeking more exotic purchases appreciate a charming shop called La Provencale, which carries fine goods from Southern France. The selective items for sale include linen and fabrics, sewing and kitchen accessories, scents, pottery, glassware, books, antiques, herbs and collectibles. All items are carefully chosen and imported, and everything on the shelves is updated regularly.

These are just a few of the most recognized and adored shops Galena has to offer guests at our Illinois resort. One thing, however, is certain. The highlight of Galena shopping is its attractive Main Street. Here, anyone visiting our Illinois resort can enjoy the wares offered by the many locally-owned businesses lining this popular district – from antique stores to art galleries, specialty shops to clothing stores.
