Ulysses S. Grant's Home

My mom loves history, so we thought we would treat her to a little bit of American history during her visit. We went to Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site in St. Louis, Missouri. The visit ended up being a treat for Doug and I as much as my mom. We learned that he met his wife Julia Dent at this house. Ulysses later purchased the home from her father and they lived there off and on during the 1850's. The information we learned about his life before his presidency was very interesting and really brought to life who he was.
