Ulysses S. Grant, known for being a successful general during the Civil War and later for being the 18th president of the United States, was born with the name Hiram Ulysses Grant in Point Pleasant, Ohio.  During the year after his birth, his family moved to Georgetown, Ohio.  Today, I visited his birthplace and his boyhood home in the two respective locales.

Grant was born in a timber frame house which today is located along Ohio Route 232, about 170 feet from where it ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 52.  It's the closest of the three buildings seen in this first picture.  One window has a sign reading "closed".  The building behind the brown sign is also part of the site.  The other building to the right is a neighboring house.
