Our 1845 Greek Revival home, built by Cyrus Aldrich, a member of the Illinois General Assembly and veteran Whig, retains all the elements of its original style and elegance.

Offering the quiet of General Grant's residential neighborhood, in walking distance to Galena's Main Street and historic sites, our inn has five gracefully appointed guest rooms with queen beds, all private baths and antiques; four with fireplaces and views of our gardens.

Enjoy the double parlor with it's cozy fireplace, music, period antiques and comfortable sofas, or our screened porch in it's garden setting filled with wicker furniture and a swing for two. Both offer the perfect place for reading, relaxing, playing cards or just visiting friends, new or old.

The Aldrich Guest House, in Galena, Illinois, has hosted many historic figures in it's past including Abraham Lincoln,
U.S. Grant and Mark Twain, but none are as important to us as you.
