Ulysses’s wife, Julia, grew up in White Haven house and met Ulysses through her brother as young officers. After marriage, they lived here with her slave-owning family off and on as Ulysses established himself militarily. The exhibits are wonderful but no photos of the contents of the house were permitted. Like much of the historic sites I have visited, the structures and grounds are beautiful but the exhibits and message abo is bittersweet.
