Ulysses S. Grant home finally heading to Eastern Market

“Before he helped lead Union troops to victory in the Civil War, Grant — the nation's 18th president — was stationed in Detroit in 1849 as a young Army officer just four years out of West Point. He lived in a modest wood-sided home on East Fort Street between Russell and Rivard, where Lafayette Park is today. When it was threatened by demolition, Michigan Mutual Liability Co. bought the house and moved it to the Michigan State Fairgrounds, where it occupied two different locations over the years.Now it's on the move again – to Eastern Market.”

After the move, President Grant's Detroit home will be closer to its original location.
