General Grant National Memorial (New York City, New York)

Grant's Tomb, officially designated as the General Grant National Memorial, stands as a tribute to Ulysses S. Grant, the principal author of Union victory during the Civil War and 18th president of the United States. Located in Riverside Park in Manhattan, this granite and marble monument is the final resting place of President Grant and his wife, Julia Dent Grant. It is also the second largest mausoleum in the Western Hemisphere and subject of one of the biggest questions in the world, "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?".

The front plaza served as a filming location for White Collar S02 E12 "Contermeasures" where Neal and Mozzie meet.

Comments

  • So, who is buried in Grant's tomb?
  • No one; Grant's tomb is a mausoleum and no one is buried in a mausoleum because the bodies are above ground.
  • Technically Grant is not buried in the traditional sense, but this is his tomb and his body rests within the structure.
