<p>Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site joins several area historic sites, museums, and privately owned homes for a day of summer open houses and tours. See how our ancestors connected with the land, in both ornamental and practical ways. At White Haven in the 1850s, the focus was on farming. They did have beautiful flower gardens and today you can see our rain garden with native plants and flowers. We will have a self-guided tour of the garden and a variety of activities for children.</p>
