[Galena, Illinois] - August 20, 2010 - Building on the success of its recommendation in the February 2004 edition of Money Magazine, the Annie Wiggins Guest House of historic Galena, Illinois, provides the history conscious traveler with a unique experience that would be impossible to match in any other setting or Galena hotel. This is, after all, the very first bed and breakfast in Galena, a town well known in the United States' Midwest as a major theater for important Civil War events that involved not only Union General Ulysses S. Grant, but Illinois own original presidential superstar, Abraham Lincoln.
While the sheer beauty of the Annie Wiggins Guest House has delighted more than its fair share of travelers, sight seers and tourism writers, the bed and breakfast goes further than most to create a stunning atmosphere that is not only fascinating to view, but comfortable to spend time in. Guests are treated to an amazing full breakfast served each morning in a luscious period accurate setting that includes antiques to evoke the full impact of the Annie Wiggins Guest House's rich history. Here, guests will enjoy private baths and showers whenever they like, as well as the freedom to slumber on famously soft queen size pillow top beds covered in Egyptian cotton linens with a thread count of over 400, sure to be the envy of anyone who treasures true comfort.
However, the Annie Wiggins Guest House goes beyond all the historical dazzle and sumptuous luxury to provide something few other guest houses offer: after hours ghost tours. Guests who love to get a sense of the mysterious aspects of a place will want to visit Annie Wiggins between May and October of each year to tour the darker and more haunting aspects of Galena's storied past. Tours begin after night fall and guests get a delightful first hand look at some potentially frightening things that this part of Illinois is well known for. Few other tours can compare with this, a definite distinction among the bed and breakfast offerings in the Midwest today.
