Located on the former Busch Family estate, Grant's Farm is a unique family attraction on the southern edge of St. Louis City.
Grant's Farm gets its name from former Ulysses S Grant. Grant built the cabin home that was located near the current location for his family in 1855.
The cabin was relocated to its current spot in the park in 1907 and was fully restored in 1977. It is the only structure built by a U.S. president, prior to assuming office, remaining.
Admission is always free at Grant's Farm but parking will cost you $12.
