General Grant National Memorial

Grant's Tomb is the largest Mausoleum in the world and the Rolling Bench , was designed by artist Pedro Silva and architect Philip Danzig, and built with hundreds of children over a 3 year period.

The rotunda houses the general AND his wife. This place rates high just for the granite and marble architecture alone. In the summer look for a multiple of cultural events on the plaza

Amazing memorial. Great peaceful site make sure to check out the visitor center across the street.

Must see tourist destination, enjoy the art outlining the building

The mausoleum is open to visitors, Wednesday through Sunday, at the following times: 10:00 AM-11:00 AM // 12:00 PM-1:00 PM // 2:00 PM-3:00 PM // 4:00 PM-5:00 PM Read more

The quirky mosaic benches outside the mausoleum must not be missed.

It feels somehow detached from our era, but is a timelessly beautiful reliquary for Grant and his wife, in their marble sarcophagi

Just behind the monument , you can find a plague and ginkgo tree on behalf of Li Hung Chang. That indicates the struggles of Chinese government in search of the modern China more than one century ago.

When you visit Grant's Tomb make sure to visit the site of Grant's original internment behind the current mausoleum . Read more

The Memorial is open during even-number hours (12-1p, 2-3p, etc.) and is free.

Loved this hidden gem off the beaten path in Manhattan. Absolutely worth the trip.

This monument is flanked by 17 colorful mosaic benches that compose a public art project called “The Rolling Bench .” They're beautiful! Read more

The interior is an architectural rip off of Les Invalides but it’s a stunning place none the less. Get extra points if you ask the staff who is buried in Grant’s Tomb.

Construction began in 1891 and was completed by April 27, 1897, the 75th anniversary of Grant's birth. His Civil War counterpart, General Robert E. Lee, is buried at Lee Chapel in Lexington, Virginia.

such a cool looking place, worth walking around if you're in the area

Great landmark and venue for local events and gatherings.

Watch the Ken Burns Civil War documentary series in its entirety before visiting this site and you will appreciate it a great deal more.

Jazz here in the evenings is one of Harlem's best kept secrets

Talk to the park ranger there! So knowledgable !!

Never been here before. Def worth a visit

There are tours , where you're allowed to go downstairs, closer to the caskets, a couple times a day. No fee.

Beautiful place. Sit around and relax!!

Closed for some reason when I approached. Great Gaudi-like statues and benches .

Don't forget to look around the outside of the building at the mosaic benches .

Free! Skip the visitors bureau which is behind what appears to be bathroom entrances.

No está mal, aunque tampoco hay mucho más que ver en el interior...
