A few weeks ago Tom Anderson, Lil Nick and I took a trip up to sunny and WARM Galena for the day. We stopped at the historic Galena train station, the home of U.S. Grant and finished the day at Grant Park. It's a beautiful stretch of ground overlooking the river with a great stone and iron walkway from the park to the business district of town. There's a couple of pavilions for concerts and a great statue of the parks namesake.
There's also some military displays throughout the park , a few historic cannon including one that was at Fort Sumter at the start of the civil war and one captured during the Spanish-American war. If you have a chance to get up there I highly recommend it.
