This iconic destination takes its name from U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, who founded and farmed a portion of the property in the 1850s. The Busch family bought the property in 1903, and the site served as the country home of August Busch Sr., who visited it on weekends when he could get away from his main residence at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis. August Busch Jr. (Gussie) opened the zoological park portion of Grant’s Farm to the public for free under a lease agreement with Anheuser-Busch in 1954. In 2017, Grant’s Farm was purchased by four of Gussie’s children: Andrew Busch, Peter Busch, Beatrice Busch von Gontard and Trudy Busch Valentine as well as grandson Robert Hermann Jr.
“Grant’s Farm is a reflection of our family’s commitment to environmental sustainability, conservation and historic preservation. Most importantly, Grant’s Farm is a wholesome place for families to visit and experience the great outdoors. As we begin this new chapter in the history of Grant’s Farm, we celebrate its past legacies and look forward to introducing this national treasure to future generations in a way that would make our ancestors proud,” Andrew Busch said.
Located in St. Louis County, the 281-acre site is home to more than 100 types of animals.
