Memorial to a Great General and Commander in Chief

With an official title of General Grant National Memorial, this historic site in New York City is the final resting place of general and president Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant. Grant is perhaps most known for being the general who turned the tide of the American Civil War, and he is readily recognizable as the president whose face is on the fifty dollar bill.

The mausoleum erected to his memory is free to the public and self guided tours of the memorial are available from 10am to 5pm every day. Stop by the visitors' center (open daily from 9am to 5pm) for information about the president and memorial. Free talks about Grant are available at the visitor center at 11:15am, 1:15pm and 3:15pm seven days a week.
