## About

Felt Manor was built circa 1850 by wealthy merchant Lucius Felt and his wife Catherine. Conveniently located just blocks from Galena's historic main street, Felt Manor rises prominently above its surroundings at the top of 'Quality Hill.' With three distinctive and historic accommodations, guests of The Inn at Felt Manor are invited to slow down, step back in time, and savor the moment.

The main Manor house is currently closed for an extensive restoration aimed at preserving its historic architecture while making necessary updates and repairs. In the meantime, two guest accommodations on the property remain open: The Coach House and The Stable Studio.

Galena has been voted one of the best small towns in America, known for its historic Main Street ("the helluva half mile"), shopping, dining, outdoor activities, and proximity to sites like Ulysses S. Grant's home.
