Very cool old school house. Walking in the front door greeted by antiques and a bar stocked with spirits and beer on tap. Take a left into a cozy little area leading to a coffee bar with pastries. Staff was helpful and explained the layout of the building. The espresso drinks were average. Walking thru the 3 floors of the antique mall.was very interesting with lots of choices and relics. Very eclectic spanning generations of memories for sale. My opinion pricing was at the upper end. No matter it was pretty interesting and cool place.

As featured in "100 Things To Do in Illinois Before You Die," this is Illinois' largest antique mall. Built inside a historic building - a former elementary school - it's fun to roam the nooks & crannies, imagining the kids who roamed the halls. There are unique items - some are a steal, I swear. Elizabeth is on the outskirts of Galena, therefore, I suggest a visit to both, perhaps with an overnight stay at one of many options in the area. For example, Chestnut Mountain Resort is perched along the Mississippi and offers a view of the river valley from its back deck patio or window-lined restaurant. Oh so much to do and see in Illinois!

Such a neat place to visit. The building alone is worth exploring. Most booths are tidy and organized. Many treasures to be found and prices are reasonable. Plan for a few hours to make sure you get to see everything. No AC so it can get warm in the summer
