Galesville, Wisconsin, is 20 minutes north of La Crosse, Wisconsin, located in the unglaciated region of the Mississippi River Valley. Founded by Judge George Gale in 1854, this picturesque community is nestled among rolling hills, towering cliffs, beautiful forests, and spring fed streams.
Galesville is home to Lake Marinuka, Decorah Peak, East Side Farm, Old Main Historical & Community Arts Center and High Cliff Park. Our Nationally Acclaimed 10-foot apple pie is the centerpiece of Apple Affair always held on the first Saturday of October. This fun-filled family event features live music, great food and an abundance of artisans and vendors celebrating everything apple all day long. While you are here: tour our apple orchards and vineyards; explore our walking, hiking and biking trails; experience fine dining; enjoy golfing, fishing, hunting, kayaking or snowmobiling; and visit boutique and specialty shops in our downtown district. Be sure to take a picture at our Historic Downtown Square, which earned the prestigious Scenic Beauty Award from Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin.
