Visit the site dedicated to the victorious Civil War general and the 18th president of the United States who saved the Union!

Established as a unit of the National Park Service in 1990, the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site commemorates the life and leadership of one of our nation's greatest figures. It also marks the highlights of Ulysses S. Grant's military career and presidency. Also known as White Haven, the site is where Grant first met his wife, Julia Dent Grant—this was her family's home—and built with her a strong and loving partnership despite the hardships that the country faced in the war-torn 19th century. The grounds at White Haven consist of 9.65 acres which include the main house, barn, stone building, chicken house, and ice house. Today, visitors can watch the 16 minute introductory film, take the 1/4 hike past the historic buildings and take advantage of the free interpretive visits to the Main House which are offered every 30 minutes.

To get here from I-270, exit at Gravois Road/Hwy 30 (exit 3) and turn east toward St. Louis; follow Gravois Road 3.3 miles and turn left on Grant Road; site entrance is less than a mile ahead on right. A giant of a political and military hero, you will have a fantastic time visiting the place where he lived, loved, and led our country through postwar reconstruction and to peace!
