My favorite room at the Jackson Center? The Grant Room. 🏛️ This stately dining room inside our historic Alonzo Kent Mansion is named for President Grant's 1875 visit as he traveled through Jamestown to speak at the first anniversary of the Chautauqua Institution.

"I'm Colin Pence. I'm an intern here at the Jackson Center and this is my favorite room within the center. This is the Grant Room where President Grant came to dine after he refused a dinner with Ruben Fenton. This is my favorite spot to sit and this is where I do most of my work here this summer."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">The original plan was for Grant to dine at Governor Reuben Fenton's house, but political tensions between the two men scrapped that idea. Instead, the 12-course lunch honoring a sitting U.S. President was held here.</p>

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Original architectural details, period furnishings, and a table that seats up to 20 — it&#39;s one of the most storied spots in the building. It&#39;s also where I set up shop most days as an intern here — not a bad perk, getting to work where a U.S. President once sat down to eat.</p>

I’ve visited many schools across our area and been struck by how many children are carrying caring responsibilities at such a young age.
Young carers are too often overlooked. Their lives can be dominated by caring duties, and they deserve far greater recognition, understanding and support. 👇️

John Craig says Farage must have been shocked to find Count Binface was his only rival: “The motive seems to be the Standards Commissioners inquiry. Clearly it looks as though he’s been rattled by that and at first it looked as though he was trying to sabotage or discredit that inquiry”Not a chance!
