The house has remained largely unaltered and contains much of its original furnishings and decorative pieces, as well as items used by Grant and his family. The bed on which he passed away is still there as are the floral arrangements from his funeral. The visitor center features interpretive displays, exhibits, and a short film. On the grounds outside the house is a large stone marker indicating the spot from which Grant took his last view of the valley. The house is owned by the State of New York and is operated by The Friends of the Ulysses S. Grant Cottage, Inc.
