Exterior of door in Ulysses S. Grant Cabin photograph Save

Description: Exterior of the front door to the cabin where Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was born in Mount Pleasant, Ohio. The photo was taken February 7, 1936, at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Columbus, Ohio. A second structure, a small cottage, enveloped and protected the Grant cabin. A shadow pattern on the cabin door is visible; light shining through the cottage's windows or door cast this shadow on the cabin. In 1888 the cabin had been removed from its foundation in Point Pleasant and placed aboard a boat for exhibition in Cincinnati. In August 1888, Henry T. Chittenden bought it in Cincinnati and had it moved to the state fairgrounds in Columbus for the Ohio Centennial Exposition of Sept. 4-Oct. 19, 1888, which commemorated the centennial of the Northwest Territory. After the exposition, the cabin remained on the state fairgrounds and in 1896 was moved into a structure purposely built to shelter and display it. It remained there until 1936. The cabin has been restored with period furniture and opened to tours. Grant Birthplace is located at 1551 State Rt 232, in Point Pleasant, in Clermont County, just off of U.S. Route 52, about five miles east of New Richmond. Ulysses Simpson Grant was an American military leader during the Civil War and the eighteenth president of the United States. Grant was U.S. president from 1869-1877. View on Ohio Memory.
