Golf: There are four separate golf courses in the Galena Territories. There is the north course the south course and a short 9 holes course and also what is called the 'General' a more difficult course. I am not a member of these courses, but you can easily set up tee times in the golf season.

There is ski rental there in the winter and in the summer they have an alpine slide that is great fun for the whole family.

Year Purchased: 2002
About: We purchased the property for our own families use. As our family grew and we weren't able to spend as much time there, we decided to share our home with others. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know others who have come to enjoy the Galena area as much as we have. The continued revenue from visitors has enabled us to continually care for the home and made it a wonderful place to enjoy your time away from home anytime of the year.
Why The Galena Territory, Guilford Township, IL, USA:
