Ulysses S. Grant, the victorious Civil War general who saved the Union and the 18th President of the United States, first met Julia Dent, his future wife, at her family home, named White Haven. Today, that home commemorates their lives and loving partnership against the turbulent backdrop of the nineteenth century.

Hardscrabble: The House That Grant Built
While living at the White Haven property in St. Louis, Missouri, Ulysses S. Grant constructed a log cabin named "Hardscrabble." Despite taking more than a year to build the house, the Grant family only lived in it for three months in late 1856. Hardscrabble nevertheless remains a living legacy to Grant's life as a St. Louis farmer.
