Julia And Ulysses S. Grant Home

Thank you for your interest in Detroit's Grant home. The following survey will guide the Michigan History Center and Eastern Market determine how to renovate and open the home to the public. It will take you about 10 minutes and is broken into three sections.

The first section as about Julia & Ulysses S. Grant, and asks about your knowledge of and interest in their lives.

The second section is about the home they lived in in 1849-1850, and how it should be renovated and used. The questions provide examples to spark creative ideas, and are not meant to represent the only choices. We are interested in your ideas for the home.

The third section, which is completely optional, asks some basic information about you and your interests. If you'd like to join the project mailing list or if you are willing to be contacted about your answers and/or asked to participate in a focus group or interview.
