After leaving the White House, Ulysses and Julia Grant embarked on a two-and-a-half year tour through Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America. They were greeted with parades, dined with royalty, and bestowed with lavish gifts. This concert series features the music from some of the countries they visited on their tour. The Grants visited India in February and March and China in April and May of 1879. 

This concert series is one of the park's Grant bicentennial events.
