It
was in Joseph W. Drexel's Adirondack cottage
that General Ulysses S. Grant died of throat
cancer on July 23, 1885. President Grant
arrived at the cottage on June 16, 1885,
with a large entourage of family, friends,
servants, and physicians in order to complete
his memoirs. He died just four days after
his final proofreading. Today, the cottage
and its furnishings remain essentially the
same as during the Grant family's stay for
six weeks in 1885.
