The museum is an enjoyable visit. There is an interesting variety of exhibits. At $8, admission fee is decent. The holographic video at the beginning is neat and provides a good overview of the museum.

The exhibits are interesting. Staff very helpful. This museum is a gem. Two floors of unique exhibts and the architecture is beautiful and well preserved.

Wonderful detailed displays to teach about a part of American history that many do not know about. Staff very knowledgeable

We enjoyed this museum. There are displays about the history of Galena itself, as well as displays about President Grant and other Civil War generals. There is also a small gift shop where you can buy books and other souvenirs.

The museum gave a very detailed history of the town and people. enjoyed learning about the riverboat time of galena

Very nice museum. It is selfguided so you can go thru as slowly or as quickly as you like. We liked the historical books available in the shop.
