Join us at the Norwin Public Library for a Virtual Tour of the deathplace of President and General Ulysses S. Grant.

President Grant arrived at the cottage of Joseph Drexel on June 16, 1885, with a large entourage of family, friends, servants, and physicians in order to complete his memoirs. He died just four days after his final proofreading.

Today, the cottage and its furnishings remain essentially the same as during the Grant family’s stay for six weeks in 1885. Guests to the cottage may visit the spacious porch, tour the cottage’s four rooms, and view floral arrangements that remain from Grant’s August 4th funeral.

Join us for a virtual tour of this historic time capsule of the 19th Century.
