History abounds at this Greek Revival home, where Ulysses S. Grant was entertained by Robert H. McClellan, an Illinois State Senator. It is even said that Grant’s troops trained on the “green” between the Aldrich house and its neighbor Congressman Elihu B. Washburne’s house. The house features five guest bedrooms with private baths, claw-foot tubs and fireplaces. There is also a parlor with a fireplace, and screened porch with a swing. A bountiful gourmet breakfast, served on china, is included.
