John A. Logan Visits Ulysses S. Grant Historical Site


John A. Logan and Kelli took a trip to Ulysses S. Grant National Historical Site in St. Louis, Missouri. They traveled 244.40 miles round-trip. This site is where Grant had met his wife, Julia, in 1843 and then in 1848 the two got married and had a family. The Grant family then farmed the land from 1854-1859. The farm is now called Grant Farm and is an attraction to families to explore different wildlife. The cabin in which the Grants lived is still standing in Grant Farms. Ulysses S. Grant played a critical role during the Civil War as a commander for the Union Army and through his leadership the Union was able to stop the Confederate Army. Ulysses S. Grant then went on to become the 18th President of the United States of America. He served from 1869-1877. John A. Logan has traveled a total of 715.32 miles.
