“Friendly people, great prices. It’s a really cool shop with a lot of variety. We bought a bench, an owl that flaps in the wind, a rooster, there’s so much to choose from”
“You can't go on a trip without visiting antique and thrift stores! Peace of the Past North is smack dab in the middle of Main St in Galena. If you park and walk up and down Main St you won't miss it!
Upon first glance it looks like a smaller store but there's a whole back section that you can't see from the front. Lots of neat finds with some pretty reasonable prices. There are a lot of book sections throughout the back half of the store. We found a couple of books that, once we got back home, found out were at least 50% CHEAPER at the antique store than if we had bought them online. That's a pretty good deal!”
“My husband and I enjoyed this store! We like old books and antiques! We could have spent a long time in the store. I enjoyed it more than the other location! Check it out! The owner was nice and kind to us. People are allowed to have their own views.”

“Such a great spot! There's so much to see, but everything is thoughtfully organized, making it easy to browse. Tons of variety - lots of unique finds to handcrafted pieces. The checkout process was smooth and efficient - while one staff member rang up my handpainted tiles, another carefully wrapped each one in newspaper and packed them securely. The location is perfect too, just outside of Galena. An ideal stop if you're out on a Sunday drive!”
“you have to stop in to gustafson and grey if you’re on main street! they have a wide variety of really great, beautiful pieces. dan was so helpful and extremely knowledgable about a lot of the items. it puts a whole new perspective on a piece to find out it was carved from shells or to see the intricate engravings on a tiny ring! the shop allows limited customers at a time and really gives attention to the guests in there. left with some great finds and am eager to go back next time!”
