What's up, everybody? Jess is back! Tomorrow we will be going to Grant's Farm, so we're supposed to blog about the history. (Those people who hate history may want to consider not reading this; you might be bored to sleep.)
It all started when Ulysses S. Grant owned that land a looong time ago, in the 1800's. (All this time I thought Grant's farm in the middle of nowhere.) Then a man named Shepard Allenberg (hmmm, never heard of him) divided the area where Grant visited his horses into eight different lots. (What exactly was the point of that anyway, besides making more money?) People started buying land at a minimum of 4 acres. Carl Trop, the real estate owner, said that they should buy more space to preserve the land. (If that isn't good real estate then I don't know what is.) And then we come to the present.
Well, that's it for now! Till next time.
Ciao for Now,
Jess
