About Joan Raymond
My grandparents owned a farm outside Galena where I spent every Sunday, as well as many weeks in the summer as a child. I have very fond memories of this City. Now, I split my time between Boulder, Colorado (where I raised my family) and Galena. All of my immediate family and a lot of my extended family live in the tri-state area.
Joan Raymond purchased this house in 2017
Why Joan Raymond chose Galena
I saw the Owl House in the 2015 Annual Tour of Historic Galena Homes and fell in love with it. Such a beautiful example of small urban living which is so historically charming! When I heard it was for sale, I knew this would be the perfect place for visitors to stay and enjoy the best of Galena right at their finger tips!
What makes this house unique
Location, history, charm, with all the comforts of home.
