Visited in July. The history is interesting and enlightening. Rest area was filthy with litter, garbage and not mowed. Grant Bridge covered in vines and weeds as seen in trip advisor photos. House and grounds needed maintenance. Shame on Ohio.

Great

It was interesting to read the signs, but then a museum volunteer showed up and gave us a great, informative tour.

Grants birth place is a historical landmark located in Southeastern Ohio along the river beautiful scenary small very easy to walk for those who cant walk long distances. It's really nice to be able to step back into time

It's cool for who lived here but to pay to see it and truly not much to see if it was cheaper or free 5 stars. Just look in the windows and keep walking.

Knowledgeable staff member able to answer questions and clearly passionate about history. Original and period pieces in the home. Be aware, no decent bathroom nearby. The one across the street is not maintained by this site and is downright scary.

Ian Lane

I love history. It's remarkable to be see the humble beginnings of one of the great leaders of our country.

A hidden gem that is a short drive from Cincinnati. Makes for an informative stop on a pleasant drive/day trip. Gives perspective on our current way of life & insight to the sacrifices our forefathers endured.

RA Wang

Used restroom quickly and was back on my way quickly. There is no running water and folks in parking lot were church mouse quiet the moment I exited car until I returned. So my entire duration of using restroom I wondered will I live today? So I give 3 stars as it's no better or worse than an interstate rest stop as this place has potential to be a quaint and quick stop...

Love history and this place is so cool

Interesting story regarding this home. The Historian knew his stuff. The value of this stop, for us, was listening to this guide and more stories created from questions visitors posed.

A fun place to learn history

Paul Whap Weber

Museum was closed, but it was only the 2nd weekend in April.

Ron Chapman

Interesting historical site with several surprising facts about Grant and the house. Arrived a few minutes after 5 pm closing, but posted information was still very helpful. Worth a stop if traveling along the Ohio River east of Cincinnati. 4 stars since I wasn't able to see inside the house.

Nana Yaw Mensah I

This is very historical place and anyone that visits Ohio should visit here and just get a feel of the energy and absorb the knowledge of the past a very very quiet and scenic route leads you to this hidden gem well worth the visit and the time. Quiet atmosphere with allot of memories. Take the kids and have fun!!

Jim Teegarden

Small clean Park overlooking the Ohio River. A decent place to stop for a packed lunch or picnic on your way through to Ripley

Rebecca

The grass is mowed but the area is run down. Restroom at small park ran by ODOT is awful. Lots of knats and probably only cleaned every 5 years. Trash everywhere. Needs an overhaul and someone who cares about the place.

Teresa Robertson

Nice place

Dick Lewis

A small house with a good guide to the life and times of U. S. Grant. Many of the items were actuality used by him or his parents. The bed and long rocker are particularly interesting.

salt chunk

Nice view of the nuclear plant

Tammy Clifton

Wonderful

Tim Massey

Nice! It's a small bridge.

Grace Ortalano

This is a one room house where Grant was born. After the Grant's moved, two more rooms were added. The tour focused on the way they lived and the furnishings. The cost is low to visit.

Robin J Combs

Went to the rest stop and ate subway

Matthew Carey

Everyone should take the time to visit the Grant birthplace and boyhood home in Georgetown.

Adam Klei

Very quiet clean place
