Description: This photographic reproduction of an engraved illustration depicts the small cabin in which Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was born. The birthplace is located in Point Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio. The artist's rendering, which includes the Ohio River as a backdrop, shows the cabin situated at a bend in a road. The cabin has two windows on either side of the front door. A tall brick chimney stands on the cabin's right side. A figure on horseback and a horse-drawn covered wagon are traveling past the cabin. A gated fence separates the cabin and surrounding property from the road. The image includes the caption "Birthplace of Ulysses S. Grant" and to the far right of the caption is the number 21, which may be either a page number or an illustration number. The cabin was removed from its foundation in Point Pleasant in 1888 and placed aboard a boat for exhibition in Cincinnati. Afterwards it was moved to Goodale Park (Columbus, Ohio) as part of the Northwest Territory centennial. During the 1890s the cabin was returned to the fairgrounds in Columbus. It remained there until 1936, when the Ohio Historical Society, under a legislative order, returned it to its original site in Point Pleasant, Ohio. The dismantling of the badly deteriorated cabin for relocation occurred in February 1936 at the Columbus Fairgrounds. The cabin was restored with period furniture and opened to public tours. The Grant Birthplace memorial is located at 1551 State Rt 232, in Point Pleasant (Clermont County), just off of U.S. Route 52, about five miles east of New Richmond. Ulysses Simpson Grant was an American military leader and the eighteenth president of the United States. He served in the Mexican War but was never happy with military life and resigned his commission in 1854. At the outbreak of the Civil War he organized a company in Galena and later accepted command of the 21st Illinois Regiment. In August 1861, President Abraham Lincoln made Grant brigadier general of volunteers. In 1864 Grant became lieutenant general commanding all the armies of the U.S. He served as U.S. president from 1869-1877. View on Ohio Memory.

A tall brick chimney, also white, stands on the cabin's right side. A white fence extends along the front of the cabin, and a stone walkway leads to the front steps.

Description: The Bicentennial barn-painting program was an inexpensive, grassroots marketing campaign that painted the official logo of the Ohio Bicentennial on a highly visible historic barn in each of Ohio's 88 counties. Over 2,000 farmers and landowners submitted their barn descriptions to the committee for consideration. Beginning in 1998, artist Scott Hagan spent five years painting the logos, tailored to every barn's unique character. Typically, the barn owners hosted a celebration at the completion of their barn painting. This photograph is an exterior view of Barn # 71, located at 4268 McKeever Pike in Clermont County.
