    Our city has a lot of interesting landmarks. Here's a few of my favorites.

    General Dodge House

    Home of Gen. Grenville M. Dodge. A Civil War veteran, Dodge's involvement in political, financial and military affairs made him an associate of many of the most influential Americans of his time and counsel to presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

    Just a house I love, I would consider buying it if it went on the market.
