Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site

White Haven mansion features preserved 19th-century architecture with green exterior paint, multiple outbuildings, and surrounding grounds covering 10 acres of land.

General Ulysses S. Grant lived at White Haven from 1854 to 1859 before becoming the commanding general of Union forces and 18th president of the United States.

The estate reflects antebellum Missouri society through its preserved structures where enslaved workers, the Dent family, and the Grants inhabited the same property.

Visitors can take free guided tours of the restored mansion every hour, explore the museum in the former horse stable, and access Grant's Trail for cycling.

The mansion retains its distinctive Paris Green exterior color, selected by Ulysses and Julia Grant in 1874 during their post-presidential renovation of the property.
