Grant Birthplace

[2] The future president lived in Point Pleasant for less than a year, as his family moved to Georgetown one month before his first birthday.

[1] The Grant Birthplace and surrounding areas have been found to be a historical archaeological site.

Ohio State Historic Preservation Office staff archaeologists conducted a test excavation of some of the areas surrounding the gutters, discovering foundations of an 1810s tannery.

[5] Previous archaeological work in and around the Grant Birthplace included the retrieval of early nineteenth-century pottery from a small midden being impacted by the replacement of a nearby bridge in 1984,[5]: 13  as well as a field survey of open areas in the birthplace grounds before the construction of a small building at the site in 2005; the latter project recovered only a couple of insignificant lithic flakes from an unidentified prehistoric period.
