Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site
White Haven, the estate of the family of President Grant's wife, with a green-sided farmhouse and a museum telling the story of the Civil War general's home life.
White Haven was the family estate of Julia Dent Grant, wife of Ulysses S. Grant. Grant lived here for many years, and the estate also reveals what family life was like under slavery. Visitors must join a ranger-led tour to see the main house, while the museum in the former stable traces Grant's journey from soldier to president. Managed by the National Park Service, it is free to visit, and it can be combined with Grant's Farm across the road on the same day.
