About Crestwood, Missouri: Presidential Roots on Route 66

Crestwood, located in St. Louis County along the 1932-1977 alignment of Route 66, is a community where the nation's history intersects with the story of the Main Street of America. The area was first settled in 1805 by Thomas Sappington, but its most famous resident arrived half a century later.

From 1854 to 1859, Ulysses S. Grant lived here with his wife Julia Dent at her family's White Haven estate. During these years, Grant managed the farm, constructed a log cabin called Hardscrabble in 1856 and freed the only person he ever enslaved, William Jones, in 1859. This chapter of Grant's life was one of farming, hardship and family and is inseparable from Crestwood's heritage.

When Route 66 was established in 1932, Crestwood entered a new era of growth. The highway brought with it classic motels, diners and neon-lit businesses that transformed the once-rural community into a vibrant roadside hub. Among its most enduring icons is the Crestwood Bowl, a 1950s-era bowling alley whose glowing neon sign still captures the spirit of mid-century Americana and the golden age of road travel.

Today, Crestwood preserves and celebrates both sides of its story. The Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site maintains the White Haven estate, offering tours and exhibits that explore Grant's life before he became a Civil War general and later, the 18th U.S. President. At the same time, Route 66 traditions live on through nearby attractions and annual celebrations such as the Route 66 St. Louis Festival, which brings together car shows, live music and some retro fun.
