About General Grant National Memorial

Known to most people as Grant's Tomb, this classical domed mausoleum stands in Riverside Park at Riverside Drive and West 122nd Street. It was designed by John H. Duncan and completed in 1897. Inside, the Grants rest in red-granite sarcophagi in a lower-level crypt beneath the dome. A visitor center has exhibits, a bookstore and a 22-minute film about Ulysses S. Grant, and an overlook pavilion gives seasonal views of the Hudson River.
