Grant’s Farm, located on 281 acres, borders Crestwood and is home to more than a thousand animals representing more than 100 different species from six continents. The Farm takes its name from our 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. In the 1850s, Grant founded and farmed a portion of the 281 acres. Today this land is preserved as a living symbol of the Busch Family’s love for animals and Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to wildlife conservation and preservation.
