<P> The property was at one time owned by Ulysses S. Grant and prior to that, by the Dent family . It is now owned by the Busch family, who owned the Anheuser - Busch Brewing Company for many years until it was sold to InBev in 2008 . Grant's Farm has been an animal reserve for many years and is open to the public for free; however, there is a parking fee of $13 per vehicle . This fee helps to maintain the farm . The farm is home to such animals as buffalo, elephants, camels, kangaroos, donkeys, goats, peacocks, the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales and many more . Most of these animals can be seen by visitors on a tram tour of the deer park region of the park, while the Clydesdales are found in their nearby barn and pastures . The farm also contains a cabin called "Hardscrabble," which was built by Ulysses S. Grant in 1856 on another part of the property and later relocated to Grant's Farm . It is the only remaining structure that was hand - built by a U.S. president prior to assuming office . </P> <P> Also on the farm is the Busch family mansion, and a house in which Ulysses S. Grant resided between the Mexican and Civil Wars--White Haven . This had been his wife, Julia Grant's, family home . Colonel Frederick Dent, Julia's father, gave 80 acres of the farm to the couple as a wedding present on what today is Rock Hill Road . Grant built his cabin on this land . Colonel Dent was a farmer in St. Louis County . He owned 925 acres along Gravois Creek, 10 miles southwest of the city, and owned slaves to farm the land . Five miles from the Dent farm was Jefferson Barracks, where Ulysses S. Grant was assigned in 1843, after attending West Point and rooming with Julia Dent's brother . Grant's cabin was featured at the 1904 World's Fair . White Haven, next door to Grant's Farm, the Busch family estate, is now a national historic site: the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site . </P> <P> In November 2015, the St. Louis Zoo agreed to purchase Grant's Farm from six heirs of the beer baron, August A. "Gussie" Busch Jr. for about $30 million . The deal requires a city judge to back four of the Busch heirs to release the land from a trust . Area residents would also have to approve $8.5 million in added taxes to support yearly park operational costs . The deal would triple the land holdings of the zoo and allow the zoo to build a breeding facility for its endangered animals . The Busch family would remain owners of the family mansion for the time being . A-B InBev leases the land from the Busch family and has operated Grant's Farm since it bought Anheuser - Busch . A-B InBev agreed to donate about $27 million to the zoo to buy the Farm . One Busch heir, Billy Busch, made a competing offer and wants to keep the Farm in the family . Billy Busch owns William K. Busch Brewing Co. and wants to expand his brewery on the land . In March 2016, the St. Louis Zoo Association withdrew its offer to buy Grant's Farm, citing the family's disagreement as one of the reasons . In April 2016, the family dispute continued as Billy Busch outbid his siblings offer by $1 . His bid would be $26,000,001 along with $8 million to purchase the family mansion . </P>
