If you grew up in Georgetown, or you've got family on Main Street or Grant Avenue, you'll know these streets. It's a modern aerial view of Georgetown in Brown County, Ohio, made from modern data and given a vintage look. Red building shapes fill the old grid around West State Street and Main Street. A winding blue stream loops down the left side, and shaded green hills fold in around the village.

Ulysses S. Grant's boyhood home on Grant Avenue
Georgetown is where Ulysses S. Grant grew up. He became general-in-chief of the U.S. armies and the 18th president. He was also the first Ohio native elected to that office. He lived in a house here from 1824 to 1839, says the Ohio Historical Marker at the site. His father, Jesse R. Grant, built the first part of the house in 1824. It faced Water Street. Later he built an addition facing Main Cross Street. Today that street is Grant Avenue. In his memoirs, Grant wrote that this place stayed his home until 1839. That year, at seventeen, he left for West Point.
The Grant home stands at 219 East Grant Avenue, and both East Grant Avenue and Water Street are printed on the map. A second marker there honors General Thomas Lyon Hamer. He was a teacher, a lawyer, a congressman and a soldier. Grant wrote that Hamer was "one of the ablest men Ohio ever produced."
