Stopped here while in St. Louis and found the site to be very interesting about the history of Ulysses S. Grant. Our tour guide Railey was very informative, and you are able to see the first floor of Grant's home and some of the other buildings on the grounds. There is also a very nice museum to walk through next to the visitor center.

Excellent place to spend a good couple hours. Have several activities for little ones in addition to the jr ranger book. Your of house is done with a ranger only who was excellent and provided a lot of information. The museum and video was also informative.

This free experience was a fantastic step back in time to learn about President Grant. We started with a 20 minute video about Grant’s life from school through his last years. We then took the docent-led tour of the house that he and his wife Julia lived in for several years. The count covered many of the same points that were covered in the video. The gift shop has some interesting items and purchased 2 newspapers from Grant’s time period for my husband who is a history buff and newspaper collector. He was impressed with the articles!. Well worth the time to check out the history of this progressive man!

It was a nice visit but nothing to make a detour on your vacation for. Grounds were kept immaculate. The inside of the home had one or two plaques to read but the house was almost bare. There was a nice ranger at the entrance of the home for any questions. The barn was transformed in to a nice cooled museum. The gift shop was nice and clean as well.
