Life in Galena, IL

Galena isn’t just a place to work, it’s a place to actually live. Nestled in the rolling hills of northwest Illinois along the Galena River, it’s one of the most distinctive and beloved small towns in the Midwest.

• Well-connected, not isolated. Galena is a comfortable drive from Dubuque, IA (20 min), Madison, WI (2 hrs), and Chicago (3 hrs); close enough to the city when you want it, far enough to enjoy the peace when you don’t.
• Historic charm unlike anywhere else. 85% of Galena’s buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The beautifully preserved 19th-century downtown, home to over 125 shops, restaurants, galleries, and breweries, makes Galena the #2 most visited city in Illinois outside of Chicago.
• A real dining and arts scene. Galena punches well above its weight- think craft distilleries (Blaum Bros.), local breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, wine bars, live music venues, and a thriving arts community, all within walking distance of a historic Main Street.
• Affordable, attainable homeownership. The overall cost of living in Galena is approximately 17% below the national average. The housing market offers genuine value. Whether you’re renting or looking to buy, you’ll find far more for your money here than in most metro areas.
• A community that needs you. Access to quality healthcare is a genuine priority in Galena. As this pharmacy’s founding Pharmacist-in-Charge, you’ll be a known and respected pillar of the community, not just another employee.
