Reviews of US Grant Boyhood Home and Schoolhouse (Museum)

Jon G.

A little mix of history, refurnished house with period specific pieces and some of the actual furniture along with some animatronics...you'll just have to go see about that last one.

Michael W

Enjoyed the tour of the house and school. The staff were friendly at both locations.

Jeffrey Hatten

Very cool to see a home of a president. The tanery is also across the street and will open to tours in a few years.

Not all that great

Really interesting historical site in Georgetown. Combined with Grant's Birthplace in Point Pleasant makes for a nice day trip from Cincinnati

I visited this museum on a brief break from a business conference and it really fulfilled my craving for local history. The caretaker had some really great stories of Grant's childhood in the house, his exploits and his friendships with other interesting local people. The house had been well restored and even had a few pieces of furniture owned by the Grant family even though hey hadn't lived there since Ulysses Grant graduated West Point. The real shocker though was at the end of the tour. The guide opened a door to a small room at the back of the house and inside was a simple little theater with an animatronic young Ulysses Grant! The quality of the movement and materials was reminiscent of Disney - very well done!

A must see for history buffs in the area

Rich Bentley

If you are in the area, you must visit

S W

Interesting but I've never seen Grant here...

Tina Spaulding

Interesting and very historical. Lots to see in a small space. Guide was very knowledgeable. Worth the trip.

Joann Grosik

Beautiful place and interesting area. educational and nice to see where a prominent figure of history grew up

Andrew Lynch

Nice house. Nice grounds. The house was furnished nicely with period pieces. Some were even owned by the Grant family. Nothing really wowed me though compared to some other Presidential sites I've been to. If you are in the area, I'd say yes, you should stop. You might be a bit disappointed though if you made a dedicated trip. The drive on state routes is about as enjoyable as the destination. Make sure you hit his birthace home down the road in Point Pleasant too.

Sonny and Fran Goebel

Very interesting because there is a very good narrator in the house

Dave Harding

If you enjoy history and want to learn more about one of the key figures in the Civil War, a visit to Grant's boyhood home will give you a firsthand look in his earlier years before leaving to attend West Point.

david ostrander

Tremendous history lesson here.

Beverly Brown

Very well restored, and a very interesting and knowledgeable docent.

Lisa McNally

Visited here on a presidential tour of the local sites. It was quite underwhelming. Tour guide had no idea what she was doing and gave us basically no information. The birthplace was better. If you can only do one go to the birthplace In point pleasant.
