About
Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site is a 9.65-acre (3.91 ha) United States National Historic Site located 10 miles (16 km) southwest of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, within the municipality of Grantwood Village, Missouri. The site, also known as White Haven, commemorates the life, military career and presidency of Ulysses S. Grant.

White Haven was an 850-acre plantation worked by enslaved people; Grant worked on his own separate farm on the same property, alongside enslaved people doing the same work.
