About Galena Shopping

Although Galena has a quality 10-store shopping center on its west side called Galena Square, the heart of Galena shopping is its attractive Main Street. Weekend visitors and residents enjoy the selective wares offered by the many locally-owned businesses lining this popular district, from gift and specialty shops to clothing stores, antique stores and art galleries. Shops like Poopsie's and La Provencale offer unique merchandise not available in standard chain stores. Meanwhile, boutiques like Simply Elegant proffer distinctive women's clothing and accessories, and the very masculine Churchill & Burn's stocks the finest men's gifts and tobacco-related products. As for the finer things in life, the shop and tasting room of the Galena Cellar's Winery carry locally produced varietals as well as specialty wine-related merchandise. Antique stores, like the Shop on the Hill in nearby Elizabeth and Hanover Antiques, abound as well, promising great finds and quintessential small town customer service. Art Galleries offer the finest craftsmanship by way of pottery, glassware and prints, much of it focusing on local themes. -- Aubrae Wagner, Associate Editor
