“restored childhood home”

Ohio is the birthplace and home to the eighteenth president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. Grant was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, on April 27, 1822, to Jesse and Hannah Grant. The Grant family moved a year later to live in Georgetown, Ohio, where young Grant spent his youth and attended school.The Grant Birthplace is restored and open to the public. The three-room frame cottage in which Grant was born has been furnished with period items in the living, dining, and kitchen areas. At one time, the cottage was shipped around the United States on a railroad flat car during a tour. It was also displayed at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus.

On display here are several artifacts that once belonged to President Grant, including his presidential strongbox, the gloves he wore at his first inauguration in 1869 and his wallet (minus any dead presidents). Also on display is a lock of Grant's hair that his wife Julia placed in a black onyx locket and wore around her neck after Grant's death in 1885. Learn more at www.usgrantbirthplace.org
