General Grant National Memorial Description
Grant's Tomb is the location where both General Grant and his wife are "entombed". The coffins of General Ulysses S. Grant, the eighteenth President, and his wife are above ground, inside the Memorial. It was inspired by Napoleon's tomb in Paris. Two exhibit rooms illustrate Grant's life and career. There are 17 curved mosaic benches around the building designed in the seventies by Brooklyn artist, Pedro Silva.
