Ulysses S. Grant coming to Lincoln Heritage Museum
Commander of the Union Army Plans Stop in Lincoln

[June 01, 2017]  LINCOLN - The Commanding General of the United States Army, Ulysses S. Grant, will be making a stop in Lincoln, Saturday, June 3.

The Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln College is pleased to invite the public to experience living history and “meet” General Ulysses S. Grant on Saturday, June 3, at 2:30 p.m. At this free community event, visitors will hear General Grant tell stories of his childhood, his introduction into the military, and his experiences at Appomattox at the closing of the Civil War. In addition, audience members are encouraged to ask Mr. Grant questions as well. This is the second installment of the new Living History Series being presented by the Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln College.

“We are very honored that General Grant has found time in his busy schedule to come to Lincoln. We know that our visitors will be intrigued by the General’s insights,” Museum Director Tom McLaughlin said. “In Ulysses S. Grant, President Lincoln found a General who was willing to take the war to the confederacy. Yet, General Grant will always be remembered for the tremendous generosity and grace he showed at Appomattox.”

The Lincoln Heritage Museum is located on the Lincoln College Campus, 300 Keokuk St, Lincoln, Illinois. For questions, please call [phone].
