Lonely Planet review

Popularly known as Grant's Tomb, this landmark holds the remains of Civil War hero and president Ulysses S Grant and those of his wife, Julia. Completed in 1897 (12 years after his death) the granite structure cost around US$600 ,000 and is the largest mausoleum in the country. Though it plagiarizes Mausoleus' tomb at Halicarnassus, this version doesn't qualify as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

If you plan on visiting with a group of 10 or more, the congregation requests that you call in advance to see if space is available.
