U.S. Grant "Native Son" Statue
Jesse and Hannah Grant and their son, Ulysses, moved to Georgetown, Ohio in 1823. They lived on the Courthouse Square in a hotel for a short time. Shortly after arriving in Georgetown, Jesse built a tannery and home on East Grant Avenue both of which are still standing. The home is owned by the Ohio Historical Society and is a tourist attraction in Georgetown. It is also a National Historic Landmark. Young Ulysses grew up in Georgetown. He lived here 16 years until he left for West Point, longer than he lived anywhere else. During his boyhood in Georgetown, he worked in the tannery, farmed, hauled freight and passengers. He passed on the very streets around the Courthouse Square. He became a Civil War hero as Commander of the U.S. Army. He was elected the 18th President of the United States and served two terms. His memoirs, published in 1885, are considered important American literature.
This statue honors U.S. Grant as Georgetown’s native son and recognize his outstanding service to his country.
