My favorite antique store in Galena, it can be hard to find on Main St because the sign isn't big…read more It's by far the most authentic antiquing experience you'll have in town. Though you might have to sort through some things to find what you're looking for, that's part of the fun!

Instead of neatly arranged rows of high-priced antiques, this store resembles a junk shop, with…read moreitems scattered everywhere. Each item is clearly marked with its price, however, and the owner was very helpful in identifying where he had the items we were looking for. Reasonable prices, helpful service, and the feeling of success in finding something amidst all of the piles and heaps, made this a very pleasant shopping experience

I have this stereotype of middle class White women: patchouli, lavender, vanilla, yoga with the…read moreHinduism extracted, folk guitar, candles, hand made soap, crystals, and cleanses. Like all stereotypes, this is based in ignorance and selective observation. So, given that context let me say I think this is the kind of place White middle class women would like, for clothing, hats, jewelry, perfume, bath oil, hand made soap, and gifts. I did find a pair of "Singing in the Rain" themed cufflinks that were a great gift to me. Friendly, woman centered customer service, a wonderful place if you're into this sort of thing but just not my cup of tea. So to speak.

There are two Peace of the Past locations here in Galena. While the shops are both fun to look…read morearound in I can sum up my visit in one word... Overpriced! Lots of books... I'm more of a hard goods collector so right off the bat I wasn't impressed. The South location has a large collection of vintage fire extinguishers. Somthing I love to look at and own a couple of. Then I looked at their prices... WAY over market price for an item I am very informed on. Maybe It's a personal collection they don't really want to sell? I found a lot of the hard good items like this... I won't discourage you from stopping in. You might come across that one of a kind treasure you are looking for and you are willing to pay whatever it takes to get it home... I would encourage you to get off of Main St. and find some of the other off the beaten patch antique and thrift shops the Galena area has to offer. If you want my terribly honest opinion... Head to Missouri. The antique malls and shops in the Springfield, Ozark, and Branson area are second to none! And they don't charge you champagne prices for their beer selection...

There are varying price ranges, Amish items, signs, comic books, Hot Wheels, cast iron, food, coffee, etc. We spent a good hour here to stretch our legs while traveling. So much variety exists here, and walking to all the different floors to check things out is a fun adventure. There are a lot of things to peruse, and plenty of the items trigger various childhood memories. It's like taking a trip down memory lane in some of the rooms. I can't imagine anyone regretting stopping in at this place - it's hard not to walk out with something every time we go. Even if it's not something for us, we find plenty of gifts for other people.
