Home of the Hands that delivered Grant

Straddling the bank of the Ohio River sits a red and white brick building that once housed the home and office of Dr. John G. Rogers. Dr. Rogers was a prominent abolitionist as well as the physician who assisted Hannah Simpson Grant in delivering her first son, Hiram Ulysses Grant. The duplex is now a part of the Clermont County Freedom Trail and can be visited externally. Dr. Rogers was married to Julia Morris, daughter of former U.S. Ohio Senator Thomas Morris, another ardent abolitionist and local historic figure.
