Presidential Grave Hunter

  • Ulysses S. Grant State Historic Site 1000 Mount McGregor Road Wilton, NY, 12831 United States (map)

A history-driven family adventure for all ages presented by author Kurt Deion

Author Kurt Deion will discuss his book "Presidential Grave Hunter" about visiting president-related sites as a child and young adult. Fascinated by the U.S. presidents since age seven, Deion embarked on a mission to visit each chief executive’s burial site. Both his grave quest and his love of history expanded over time.

As part of our Literary Landmark Author Series Kurt will be signing copies of his book Presidential Grave Hunter: One Kid’s Quest to Visit the Tombs of Every President and Vice President following the presentation.

All Grant Cottage Programs are FREE and open to the public.

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.”
