General Grant National Memorial is a mausoleum containing the bodies of Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885), an American Civil War General and the 18th President of the United States, and his wife, Julia Dent Grant (1826–1902). The tomb complex is a United States Presidential Memorial in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The structure is also known as Grant's Tomb and is situated in a prominent location in Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River. The nearest intersection is Riverside Drive and 122nd Street. New York City was chosen as the site so that Mrs. Grant could visit frequently, and because Grant was grateful to New Yorkers for their outpouring of affection during his later years.
