Old Main serves as the central office and Humanities building for Knox College (Yea Knox!!!). It is also the site of one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. While visiting Old Main, one could also stop into Knox's library. It houses an extensive collection of writings, and more, from the 'Lost Generation,' especially Hemmingway. Also, there are often a variety of speakers and other events at Knox. The International Fair (a gathering and displaying of the variety of cultures and nationalities that attend Knox - including my soccer booth), which takes place at the end of January or beginning to February, draws people from a variety of states and countries.

The Landmark serves wonderful food. They have great sandwiches and crepes. The atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful. Also, they have a nice, hidden-away outdoor seating area for the warmer parts of the year.
Favorite Dish: It may seem simple, but their ham and swiss sandwich is heavenly.

The nightlife in Galesburg is restricted to the bars or your home. So if you're visiting, hit the bars. I recommend Seminary Street Pub. It's pretty quiet, has a nice atmosphere, and is well priced. What's nice about Galesburg is the fact that the people are very willing to talk to strangers, especially at night after a few drinks.

Address: On the nice part of Seminary St. Easy to find.
As a person without a car, I highly recommend having one. The streets are not walker or bike friendly. A number of the sidewalks are worn, and most of the important places in Galesburg are on the extreme ends of town (a problem when you live in the middle of town). So, have a car.

Green Oaks is 760 acres of forest, grassland, and aquatic habitat. It is the second oldest restored tall-grass prarie in North America. One can hike through the park, do a little canouing, or just rest. It's very beautiful, and offers one a glimpse of how Illinois used to look before European settlement.

Favorite thing: Carl Sandburg's (the writer of Chicago Poems) birth place is located in Galesburg and that is an interesting place to visit
Fondest memory: In town centre there was an old style café (don't remember their name, unfortunately) and they served the best coffee I drank during a six month stay in America
