At our 1845 Greek revival home, rich in history, the Aldrich Guest House retains all the elements of its original style and elegance. Our historic Galena Illinois Bed & Breakfast offers the quiet of General Grant's residential neighborhood with the ease of close proximity to Main Street.

We invite you to peruse our Galena bed and breakfast photos to choose your favorite guest room in which to spend your next getaway!

The Aldrich Guest house has five gracefully appointed guest rooms each with queen beds, private baths, some with fireplaces, and the comfort of central air conditioning.  Guests can also enjoy swings and gliders in the screened-in porch which overlooks the grounds where General Grant once drilled the Northern Troops.  On lovely weather days guests can stroll through our several flower gardens which include a special tranquil shade garden in the back wooded area.  For indoor relaxation, guests can enjoy the double parlor or  library with TV/VCR.  Guests gather each morning in the elegant dining room for a full, formal breakfast.

The location of the Aldrich House is ideal for visiting Galena.  The Grant Home is one block up the hill; Grant Park is 2 blocks to the north; the Visitor Center is one block away.  Four short blocks from the Aldrich is Main Street with shops and restaurants.
