U.S. Grant Discussion Group - Religion

  • Saratoga Springs Public Library (Susman Room) 49 Henry Street Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (map)

Join Grant Cottage Operations Manager Ben Kemp as we discuss Ulysses S. Grant, his faith and his views on religion. This moderated discussion group is open to the public and all are encouraged to bring their own personal research and share their insights on the subject. We'll explore Grant's life with a focus on how his own faith and that of others affected it. We'll take a look at how he expressed his own faith and how he viewed other faiths than his own in the context of his times. Information will also be available on becoming a member and/or volunteer with the Friends of US Grant Cottage, the organization that operates the local State Historic Site atop Mt. McGregor in Wilton, NY. Contact ben@grantcottage.org or 518-538-8330 to register. Meeting will take place in the Susman Room at the Saratoga Springs Public Library. (Do not contact the Saratoga Springs Library directly about this event.)

Perfect Visit

“I took a family member for a pre booked tour and it was magnificent. Steve was our tour guide, and it was just two of us on his tour. Many great individual stories about the Grant family and some new artifacts on display. We brought lunch and enjoyed that on the overlook, on a clear day with that spectacular view. Everyone locally needs to visit this well preserved historic site, whether for a tour, enjoy a program, or just to enjoy the property. Linger a while in the gift shop, too.”
