Galesburg is a conveniently walkable city with plenty of things to see and historical charm commingling with modern sights. Some streets and sidewalks continue to exhibit the products of local brickyards. Ornamental lights still adorn several streets. An occasional hitching post, carriage barn or carriage porch reminds one of the horse and buggy days, as do the narrow driveways and alleys throughout the city.
