Today marks the summer solstice, so it's a great day to visit the park's museum & enjoy an air conditioned space. The museum is housed inside a historic horse stable President Grant designed in 1871. It features six permanent galleries and one temporary exhibit. #USGrant200

At Grant's request, Congress established the Department of Justice to ensure justice for newly freed African Americans. Amos T. Akerman was an unlikely figure to head the newly formed Department, but obtained hundreds of convictions protecting black voting rights in the south.

Ulysses S. Grant died at the age of 63 on July 23, 1885, at Mt. McGregor, New York. This famous picture shows Grant working on his Personal Memoirs less than a month before his death. #USGrant200

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
