Here is what folks are saying this review from a verified customer:

"Beyond the beauty and history of the house itself, the hosts are the kindest and most thoughtful we've encountered. They went out of their way to make the experience memorable and we're deeply appreciative. We recommend The Grant House highly." Stephen

This Ulysses S. Grant, Pre-Civil war home has been fully restored to its original 1860's time period. From this Galena, Illinois home, Captain Grant left his wife, Julia and their 4 children in service to his country. At the call of duty, he did not falter. He would go on after securing a victory for the Union to further serve the country in a variety of appointments and then as the 18th president of the United States of America.
