The Ulysses S. Grant Home in Galena, Illinois, is a historic house museum dedicated to the Civil War general and 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. Constructed in 1860, the Italianate-style home was gifted to Grant by the citizens of Galena in 1865 as a token of their appreciation for his military service. Today, the house is preserved to reflect the period when Grant lived there with his family. Visitors can explore the well-maintained rooms, which are furnished with original pieces and period-appropriate artifacts, providing a glimpse into the life and times of one of America's most notable historical figures.
