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!
