Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

No one really cares about Grant or his presidency. The tomb has no educational value at all. We are wasting our tax dollars keeping it open.

The General Grant National Memorial aka Grant’s Tomb is a gorgeously designed domed mausoleum that is located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
Grant’s Tomb serves as the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President Of The United States, & his wife Julia Grant. In addition to being a national memorial, Grant’s Tomb is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places & is a recognized New York City landmark.
In April of 2023, I brought my wife and myself for a visit to Grant’s Tomb and we were first struck by the beauty and sheer size of this magnificent landmark. We both understood that its great size and long-standing preservation of the mausoleum reflects the immense impact that Ulysses Grant had on the United States.
Grant was the top ranking Commanding General that led the Union Army to victory in the American Civil War. He would subsequently become a successful President Of The United States, during which he would work to protect the rights of African Americans and help reunite the country in the period known as “Reconstruction.”
When exploring the memorial’s interior, both my wife and I were impressed with the stunning mosaic murals which portray Grant’s most celebrated campaigns; Grant on horseback during the Vicksburg Campaign, Grant on Missionary Ridge; & Grant’s acceptance of General Robert E Lee’s surrender.
The highlight of our visit was getting the chance to view and take pictures of the sarcophagi, which contains the remains of President and Mrs. Grant. The sarcophagi are made of red granite and weight over 8 tons. It is very well preserved and is surrounded by the busts of five of Grant’s greatest lieutenants.
If you love art, architecture and history, then you definitely should take a moment to visit and explore The General Grant National Memorial!!!

Resembles Napoleon's tomb in Paris. Extremely easy to get to and in a beautiful part of the city being right outside of Columbia University. Worth the stop to get away from the crowd.

Nobody is buried in Grants Tomb since the crypt is above ground and General Grant and his wife are viewable to the public at this historic site in Riverside Park.

Grant's Tomb is a mausoleum located in Riverside Park in New York City. It is the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States and the Union Army General who led the North to victory in the Civil War. The tomb was constructed between 1891 and 1897 and is considered a significant landmark in American history and architecture. There is no entrance fee to this monument and it is a great way for young students to learn about American history.
The idea for Grant's Tomb originated soon after Grant's death in 1885. A national competition was held to determine the design of the monument, and it was ultimately awarded to John Hemenway Duncan, an American architect from Washington, D.C. Duncan's design for the tomb was modeled after the ancient Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Construction of Grant's Tomb began in 1891 and took six years to complete. The mausoleum is constructed of white marble and granite and features a domed roof and ornate columns. The tomb is 150 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 95 feet high. It is the largest mausoleum in North America.
The interior of Grant's Tomb is equally impressive. Visitors enter through bronze doors that weigh over 8,000 pounds. Inside, there is a rotunda with a height of over 90 feet. The center of the rotunda features a large marble sarcophagus that contains the remains of Grant and his wife, Julia Dent Grant.
Grant's Tomb is a popular tourist destination in New York City. The tomb is open to the public. In addition to being a significant historical landmark, Grant's Tomb is also an important example of Beaux-Arts architecture, a style that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Grant's Tomb contains the remains of Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant. It is also a memorial to the Union Army soldiers who fought in the Civil War. The names of all the Union generals are inscribed on the walls of the tomb, and there is a statue of Grant on horseback located outside the mausoleum.

Despite this website saying it is temporarily closed that is not true. It is open limited hours.
We visited it and only one park employee was there. Much more interesting that I expected. Very cold outside but nice and warm inside.
I would recommend this.

Ulysses S. Grant rose from an obscure background to lead the armies that won the Civil War, and then served two terms as President, fighting for the civil rights of the freed slaves. He was famous and revered when he died, and this enormous mausoleum memorializes him. The coffins of Grant lie at the lower level below a soaring rotunda that looks similar to the US Capitol. There are three mosaics depicting major military victories, Union Army battle flags and busts of his generals, but mausoleum is otherwise surprisingly sparse. Possibly this is because everyone knew about Grant: no explanation was necessary. The Memorial is a bit out of the way from Midtown Manhattan, but well worth visiting.

I finally got to this famous memorial while on my long postponed return trip to NYC. It was Open House NYC Weekend, and a gorgeous October Saturday when I visited.
The setting is in a beautiful park that overlooks the Hudson River, and includes a maker telling the story of the famous old Claremont Inn that stood nearby. There is also an intriguing mosaic covered serpentine like sculpture on the border walls behind the memorial, rather like the one at Parc Guell in Barcelona.
The NPS rangers offered information about the history and construction of the monument. In addition to the resting place of General Grant and his wife Julia (who are entombed above ground, not buried, per the ranger), there are murals depicting various Civil War battles and a collection of historical flags from the conflict.
In a time where our differences seem to be greater than our commonalities, it was a sobering visit for me. I am glad I made the effort to visit such a shrine.

Ce mausolée se trouve au nord de la prestigieuse université de Columbia à quelques rues de Central Park.
Il abrite les tombes du général Ulysses S.Grant qui mena les soldats de l'Union à la victoire face aux soldats confédérés du général Lee ainsi que celle de son épouse.
Construit de la même façon que les Invalides à Paris, les tombeaux sont au sous-sol et on peut les voir du haut ou de plus près une fois descendues quelques marches. Dans deux alcôves latérales on peut admirer les drapeaux des armées qui ont combattu au cours de la Guerre Civile. Il y a aussi des cartes sur les murs avec les principales batailles et leur situation géographique.
L'entrée est gratuite car le mausolée fait partie des parcs nationaux. Il y a un parc adjacent bien arboré et de nombreux bancs sur lesquels s'asseoir. Fermé les lundis et mardis. Compter 30 minutes de visite. Personnel accueillant.

Trip advisor, at least as of the time of this review, is incorrect. The interior is finally open again.
If you know anything about Grant, you know he wanted to do right, was a man of morals, but was constantly tortured by war and conflict. He tried his best to make changes in the country after the civil war, but his advisors and staff were unscrupulous. His legacy really is misunderstood.
The grounds are beautiful. Greenery, plenty of seating. Close to Morningside Park and Harlem sites. There are usually unicyclists, jugglers, artists.
This is the largest mausoleum in this hemisphere. The inside is imposing, glorious, and somehow sad too. The architecture is magnificent. This man lived such a difficult life, you have to hope he found some peace.
Worth a stop when you’re uptown.
