And Galena is OLD, we go back waaaay before the '1826' year people like to assign us. In fact, if it weren't for a really powerful, great and slightly 'rotten' European king we wouldn't be who we are today (and he's not English). Our weird haunted history tours dive deep into the dark history, strange characters, shocking tales, and frightening ghost stories and mysteries that shaped Galena.

Audience engagement, humor, sarcasm and bawdy storytelling as well as really wild and weird histories abound as we uncover the wild side of Galena without sugarcoating the past. All while keeping the mood lighthearted, entertaining and FUN!

Galena is rich in history, including the history of these unsetlled spirits!

Hire your Alligator Horse and load up yer flatboat! Illinois is steeped in history, particularly Galena's history, which is really old. In fact, it might shock you just how old our town is!

We're going to explore not just the famous people and significant events that shaped this area,
