Start your visit to Galena with a tour of the Ulysses S. Grant Home. “On August 18, 1865, Galena celebrated the return of its Civil War hero, General Ulysses S. Grant. Following a jubilant procession with much flag waving and speeches, a group of Galena citizens presented the General with a handsome furnished house on Bouthillier Street. The house is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as the U.S. Grant Home State Historic Site.” There is a suggested donation of $4.00 at this site. After the tour you will be on your own for lunch, with time to shop and see local points of interest.
Return to La Crosse at approximately 7:30pm.
