An Evening of History, Heritage & Hospitality

September 17, 2026

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration honoring the 200th birthday of Julia Dent Grant, devoted wife of General and President Ulysses S. Grant, First Lady of the United States, and daughter of the historic Dent family.

Spend an unforgettable evening immersed in the rich history of the grounds where Julia’s story began.

Your evening includes:

• Exclusive Historian-Led Tour of Hardscrabble
• Begin the evening with a private guided tour of the historic Hardscrabble cabin with support from our neighbor, the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site. Food Historian Suzanne Corbett will walk you through the culinary period during Julia’s time at the farm for an immersive experience.
• Board a private tram for a scenic journey through Deer Park, offering a peaceful passage through one of Grant’s Farm’s most iconic landscapes, with a special stop at the former site of Wish-ton-wish.
