U.S. Grant Cottage
The Place Where a Memoir Took Shape
Discover
U.S. Grant Cottage on Mount McGregor connects presidential history with the work of writing. Ulysses S. Grant completed the second volume of his memoirs here shortly before his death in 1885. The site offers a focused way to consider how a public figure records a life and how that account becomes part of historical memory.
