Grant Boyhood Home
Facility
President Ulysses S. Grant's father built this home in Georgetown in 1823. Grant lived there until entering West Point in 1839.
Current Project
State funds for the memorial total $748,333, a portion of which was used to acquire this National Historic Landmark in May 2002, and to perform archaeological investigations. Another portion of the state funds -- a $480,000 appropriation in Am. Sub. H.B. 16 of the 126th General Assembly -- will be used to continue archaeological investigations, restore the house and outbuilding, and make site improvements. During fiscal year 2008, a master plan for the site was completed, working with the Grant Homestead Association, which manages the site for the Ohio Historical Society.
