General Grant National Memorial, or Grant's Tomb
The General Grant National Memorial in new York City is situated in Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River. Also popularly known as Grant's Tomb, this mausoleum contains the bodies of Ulysses S. Grant, an American Civil War General and the 18th President of the United States, and his wife Julia D. Grant.
Shortly after Grant's death on July 23rd 1885, a committee that would come to be known as the Grant Memorial Association raised $600,000 to construct a memorial tomb. Over 8,000 tons of granite was used to construct the design drawn up by New York architect John Duncan. The design, modeled after one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, would be completed and dedicated on April 2th, 1897, the 75th anniversary of Grant's birth.
Julia Grant died on December 14th, 1902, and she was laid to rest beside her husband in a twin sarcophagus.
In the 1930's three murals, and five bronze busts of Grant's greatest generals were added to the tomb. In 1958, short on funds, the Grant Memorial Association turned the tomb over to the National Park Service. Despite several years of neglect, recent restoration projects have made the General Grant Memorial an interesting and reverent place to visit.

Tour of Grant's Tomb, One of NYC's Best Kept Secrets
Among New York City parks, Central Park takes the cake when it comes to tourist attractions and grand monuments. A far more local and far less tourist trodden park, however, is Grant’s Tomb in Riverside Park. Nestled at the very northern edge of Riverside Park in Morningside Heights sits Grant’s Tomb, an impressive Neoclassical mausoleum formerly known as General Grant’s National Memorial. It is the final resting place of the 18th president of the United States and Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant.
Both a local hometown hero and renown political and martial leader on the national scale, his final resting place is remarkable and stunning – if underappreciated and populated. Check out this behind the scenes tour of his tomb and be sure to visit the site yourself sometime!
