White Haven National Historic Landmark

White Haven is nationally significant because of its long and close association with Ulysses S. Grant. As a young officer, Grant courted his future wife in this house, and after his resignation from the U. S. Army in 1854 lived there for some time. During the Civil War, he began to buy up portions of the Dent family estate that included White Haven as a site for his retirement. In many respects, White Haven occupies the position in Grant's life that Arlington occupied in that of Robert E. Lee.
