Galena, tucked away in the northwest corner of Illinois, was a thriving center for mining, steam boating, and commerce in the mid-1800's. By 1850, Galena was the busiest Mississippi River port between St. Louis and St. Paul.

The town declined by the time of the Civil War, but this was a blessing in disguise, as economic stagnation prevented Galena's magnificent architecture from being razed or modernized, and the grand old buildings stood unchanged for decades.

Architecture buffs still throng to this area to glimpse a rare example of unspoiled nineteenth-century buildings in Federal, Italiante, Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Romanesque, and Galena Vernacular. Many travelers refer to Galena as the "New England of the Midwest" and return time and again to experience the unforgettable scene scape. In addition to all of the history, be sure to enjoy the many shops, fine dining, dancing, snow skiing, riverboat cruises, championship golf, riverboat gambling, and much more that the Galena, Illinois area offers.

Whether you're visiting Galena for a brief getaway or a longer vacation, The Goldmoor staff is here to serve your every need. Solitude, fresh air, and magnificent scenery await you when visiting "Galena's Premier Country Inn."
