Experience Historic Galena From your own 1840's Downtown Historic Home just steps from downtown shopping and entertainment.

With original exposed ceilings, unfinished wood flooring, and stone & brick walls, this house has chara

cter that matches the historical town around it. As a tip of the hat to the civil war history and the nine generals of Galena, the Owl House features decor and artwork of the era while remaining luxurious and modern in a way that sets itself apart from other lodging options in the area.

This is why flying π’…π’–π’“π’Šπ’π’ˆ the Great Galena Balloon Races is on a whole different level. 🎈πŸ”₯

While everyone on the ground is watching the balloons launch… our passengers are already in the sky watching the entire field come alive beneath them. Ride balloons launch first, which means you get a front-row seat to one of the coolest views in Galena Country β€” dozens of colorful balloons lifting off all around you while you’re floating right in the middle of it.

Not gonna lie… the people stuck on the ground are a little jealous. 😎

The countdown is on for the Great Galena Balloon Race!
