Grant Cottage has interesting historical significance. In 1885, President Ulysses S. Grant spent the last six weeks of his life in this home, where he also completed his memoirs. Grant had gone bankrupt and was afflicted with throat cancer, when his friend Duncan McGregor lent him his cottage on Mt. McGregor. Today Grant Cottage remains just as it was when Grant passed away, from his toothbrush, to medicine bottles, to handwritten notes. Located in the town of Wilton, it is open from Memorial Day-Labor Day.
