Sunday Bus Tour
$95

Native American and Lead Mine History Bus Tour, 9:00am-2:00pm  Travel by comfortable coach touring bus with guides. As we travel through the countryside, learn about Native American cultures, the Black Hawk War at the Apple River Fort in Elizabeth, IL; Father Mazzucchelli’s church (1844) in New Diggings, WI; and the early stage-coach hotel at Berry's Tavern at Gratiot's Grove. We will discuss lead and zinc mining and see the remnants of those industries on the landscape.  Box lunch included. Choose beef, chicken, or veggie sandwich.  Note: This tour runs concurrently with the Sunday Walking Tour. Please do not book both, as you will not be able to attend both sessions.

Sunday Walking Tour

Preservation Walking Tour of downtown Galena architecture, Park Avenue, and the Grant Park area. Tour runs from 9AM - 11AM. Bring your comfortable walking shoes and prepare to participate rain or shine. Note: This tour may involve navigating stairs and uneven terrain. It also takes place during the same timeframe as the Sunday Bus Tour. We recommend choosing only one of these two Sunday morning activities.
