Was inside once. Very cool. Spent much time outside learning to ride a unicycle. Pass by several times each week. Wonderful setting for large gatherings. At night, color changing lights illuminate the top.

Excellent mausoleum of General Grant and his wife. It is worth going to see it, it is free, and very careful. The environment is very peaceful. Recommended 100x100.

Why is Grant buried in New York?

Harriet Klein | Oct 13, 2017

William Grace, the mayor of NYC at the time of President Grant's passing, sent a telegraph to his wife Julia with in hours of his death offering to have both Grant and his wife buried in NYC. Grant's only wish was that he be buried next to his wife. Julia accepted Grace's offer and Grace then set out to raise funding for the national monument. President Grant was living in NY the last four years of his life. West Point was considered by Grant as a final resting place but his wife would not be allowed to be buried there with him. A few other cities were considered but Grant's family decided that NYC was the most prominent and Riverside Park wad a high point in elevation, higher then Central Park so that is why they chose that location as the final resting spot. While not originally a National Park Service site, NPS is now in charge of Grant's Monument.
