Galena, Illinois is where Grant lived the year before he took office as President.

He was living in Galena when he left to fight in the Civil War. When the war ended he was given a post in Washington. He was given a home in Galena by the grateful citizens there and after he was nominated for President, he moved back there until he left for the White House.
