Certainly worth visiting if you are in Galena. This historical site is staffed by people who are clearly passionate about the history of the home and about Grant. It was a very good learning experience for the kids, a place to help touch history, so to speak. We didn't realize it was in Galena until we were already there or we would have done more history prep to help the kids get even more out of the trip. Overall, certainly worth the money.
