At the private (but mostly unused) entrance to Grant's Farm and the Busch Family mansion. Budweiser commercials featuring the Clydesdale team pulling the beer wagon have been filmed here. Built in 1913, according to the Grant's Farm tour.
The smaller, but more intricately ornamental gate in front of Ulysses S Grant's log cabin "Hardscrabble" is a short distance west along Gravois from the coordinates provided for the "main" gate.
In actuality, the mainly used entrance (for those not simply visiting Grant's Farm as tourists) is at a small bridge with a guard shack along Grant Road across from the Ulysses S Grant NHS "White Haven". A non-descript service entrance gate is on the north side of the farm along Pardee Rd.
