Visit with Ulysses S. Grant
A one-man show written and performed by Peter J. Grady
See the victorious General Ulysses S. Grant come to life at the
Roland-Story High School Auditorium on Saturday, July 25 at 2 pm.

his wife and family.

the Minnesota History Center, and also appeared as part of the 2013
