Hey, everyone! We've been strangers on this platform as of late, but we're still here. We have a special exhibit about the history of slavery in St. Louis debuting at the park next month. We invite all to come see the exhibit this year, especially area schools. #ULSG

@HeyJ81007 Nice! FYI Grant was the first president to invite a baseball team to the White House. For better or worse, it was the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

These words came from a letter President Grant wrote to abolitionist Gerrit Smith in regards to the Dept. of Justice's efforts to prosecute members of the Ku Klux Klan. This sign hangs in the park's Visitor Center today. #USGrant200

This image of Nellie is from the 1864 Western Sanitary Commission fair in St. Louis. Nellie dressed up as "The Old Woman in the Shoe" to help raise funds for aid, food, and clothing for Union troops. #USGrant200
