Ulysses S. Grant NHS

The Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site is a 9-acre site, known as White Haven, that commemorates the life, military career and presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. Five historic structures are preserved at the site, including the main house, which was Grant's home from 1854 to 1859; the Old Barn, which was used as a stable and carriage house; the Icehouse, which was used to store ice during the summer months; the cider mill, which was used to press apples into cider; and the springhouse, which was used to keep food and beverages cool. Visitors to the site can tour the main house and the other buildings, and there are also hiking trails and a picnic area. The Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site is a great place to learn about one of America's most famous presidents.
