Reviews of Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site
"My brother and I visited the site on November 13th, 2023. I just happened to discover this place through Wikipedia. I'm very glad that we did as much; we were staying in Kansas City but had driven across the state to see the Gateway Arch, so we managed to take a detour to see Pres. Grant's house. Having been to Pres. Garfield's home earlier in the year, I had some idea of what to expect. After parking, the ranger directed us to the house. Tours at this site are autonomous; although a guide is present on-site, visitors are not walked through the house or the estate grounds (the guide just answers questions). We got to see the rooms in the house as well as the surrounding barns. A museum is housed in the largest barn, and this is where there's a lot of information on Grant's entire life. The gift shop is situated here; there are busts of Pres. Grant for only $30. Being from Connecticut, we had never seen a plantation before. I was thoroughly impressed with the emphasis on slavery at this site through the videos and information provided. Grant was an abolitionist who clashed with his pro-slavery father-in-law. The actors who portray them, Julia Grant, and the slaves did a wonderful job in the little videos. In total, we spent around 1.5 hours here. We did not get to see the introductory video as we were too pressed for time. Of course, I'd recommend visiting to anybody."
"We went to the candlelight display and holiday concert. The guy playing guitar solo in the house was incredible. He played Christmas songs. The concert in the theatre though was hardly holiday themed. The house was decorated and festive and the food historian put out a beautiful representation of a period feast."
"Our family of five visited the park while in town for a Cardinal’s game. We watched the park film which was very interesting and very good for our grandsons who are being homeschooled for the first time this year. A very good History lesson!! We also went on the house tour and we were so glad we were able to actually go inside the home! We also toured the outer buildings while filling out our Junior Ranger Books. The museum inside the stables was very interesting also, with lots of history! Definitely recommend Ulysses S Grant National Historic Site!!"
"Great resource! Definitely worth stopping in at. Plan on a minimum of two hours if you watch the movie and take one of the tours to view the house. If you like to read the signs on the exhibits, you may want to add another hour to that estimate. Currently there is a display on “Slavery in St. Louis.” It is interesting, but lots and lots of text on display boards. Our guide was very personable. She greeted me on entering the visitors center and well as when I was leaving. There is a little gift shop with lots of interesting period type activities for kids in addition to books. I plan to return with my husband."
