Short Description:
Expore President Grant's palatial estate by hopping aboard the convenient tram system.
Full Details:
Upon entering the property, visitors board a tram for a tour that includes the historic log cabin President Grant built and lived in for three short months in the fall of 1856. The cabin has an interesting history, and during Living History Weekends guests are allowed inside the cabin.
The Grants were given 80 acres to create a farm and had every intention of living on and farming the land. The cabin took three days to build with the help of Grant's friends. Check out the flag that is flying beside the house. It has 31 stars to represent the number of states in the Union in 1856 when Grant built the cabin. Behind the cabin is the mule stable and the original ox-cart Grant used to haul wood to the marketplace.
The gate outside Grant's cabin is comprised of 2563 Civil War gun barrels from the Federal Arsenal.
