I was happy to discover this store located in downtown Geneva's Third street shopping district…read more Eco Savvy is an earth-friendly store that carries an array of products such as candles, hand made soaps (that make the entire store smell amazing!) green cleaners, baby products and solar powered back packs that charge all your electronics. I was really surprised with their selection of Klean Kanteen water bottles. I love these bottles (i own 2 of them) and they can be hard to find outside of the internet and sporting goods stores. The soaps smell amazing! Almost like Aveda products, but without the chemicals. I bought the all purpose eco-friendly cleaner. It smells awesome and works great. Its made with vinegar and essential oils (tea tree, lavendar and something else.) The store seems like its a little under-stocked, so I really hope they don't go out of buisness. Its a great store, with great products. I really hope this store inspires more Geneva area residents to GO GREEN!

This store has become one of my must-visit stores on my excursions to Geneva. The store has mostly…read morehome accents and furniture with a few articles of clothing. Pretty much everything is resale but Marcia has a great eye for collecting and displaying items, so it is like going to a very nice garage sale where everything is cute and in great condition. Prices are extremely reasonable and there are sometimes markdowns. I bought a desk there last year and they held it at the store until we closed on our house, then her husband delivered it himself completely free of charge. Very nice people, very cute store.

This is a combination antique store and coffee shop. Don't forget to look to the right as you order your coffee - there are some nice sweets in the display case - I enjoyed their chocolate covered cookie dough - yum! Since I don't do coffee, I had a good Root Beer Float. Very tasty! Lots of things to see - make sure you check out the basement as well, where more antiques and merchandise is hidden away. Take a moment to look at the window mouldings - they are impressive with crown, dental and other accents from the original church. As far as I know, this is the ONLY place to get an Astra Latte in Ogle County. If you love good coffee, you have to try this place.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in extremely high quality displays with very attractive panels that provide detailed stories and videos to supplement some of the items. This museum also uses the wall space very efficiently, packing plenty of artifacts and information without much space between each item. Though most of the information is in one room, it takes quite a while to read through everything which provides a great sense of important people and buildings throughout St. Charles' history.

This is a small one room museum on the history of St. Charles. They really need some more space;…read morethey're set up in an old gas station. One enters through the gift shop; there is a timeline set up that one follows through the room, with several standalone glass cases, and a few cases shoved up against the walls behind the railing showing the timeline. A few costumes (half a dozen) are featured, including a reproduction Civil War uniform and some authentic World War 1 uniforms, a flapper dress and a dress Miss USA 1977 wore during her reign. Standout pieces include an old dentist's chair with various items from a dental office and a beautiful woven cane baby carriage with beautiful lace trim on the canopy. Do spend a minute to stop at the tiny pickle display to read about how St. Charles was the Pickle Capital of the World, even though no pickles were ever made there. There's also some very nice cut glass in a small display. A couple of pianos and a traveling trunk are jammed into the foyer. When there are visitors they turn on several different documentaries; one, from WTTW, includes a fairly interesting bit on Garfield Farm down the road on the 38. There's a lot of information jammed in here, and I came away with an appreciation for all the various industries that once called St. Charles home, but not a good overall picture. They just need more space. Still, donations are voluntary only,they're not getting any support from the city, and they're only asking for two bucks.

This is a tiny little gallery (4 or 5 rooms) on the second floor of the old bank building that…read morehouses the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce. Go around the building past the mural and look for the entrance under the awning on 2nd Street. Hours are very restricted and they may not always be open when they say they are; they have a very small budget. Their shows are mentioned on the local public radio station but don't seem to be well publicized; they do have a website but its functionality is very limited (for example, click on "Support Us" and you get sent to a page that reads "Support Us" but doesn't say how). Shows I've attended have included a history of the little black dress and their annual WWII poster exhibition from the collection of local jeweler John Wright. Attend one of the small shows and you'll pass a pleasant half an hour or so and feel like a very well-informed local.
