We visited here today.
HOME OF GENERAL U. S. GRANT
GALENA, ILLINOIS
This home was built in 1857 by Alexander
Jackson. Eight years later it was purchased by
the City of Galena, furnished and presented to
General U. S. Grant on his return from the Civil
War. In 1904 the heirs of the Grant estate
deeded it to the City as a memorial to their
father. In 1932 it became a state memorial and
is open to the public daily. Admission Free.
