"As we say goodbye to summer we are excited to welcome the fall months ahead.

Galena is beautiful in the Fall!  

The changing colors of the surrounding hillsides change from green to gold and orange with all the hues of autumn.  And so much to see and do.  From Craft Fairs, Historic Home Tours, Golf, Wineries, Ghost Tours, Art Galleries, Shopping, Dining, Outdoor Recreation and don't forget the Halloween Parade just to name a few.  

We invite you to stay with us and be part of the DeSoto House Family. If it's your first time we invite you to our House.  If you are returning, welcome home!"
