Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb?

Constructed in 1897, Grant's Tomb is the largest mausoleum in North America. Take a Ranger-guided tour of the memorial, learn of its construction, its exhibits, and its legends. If you want to find out who's buried here, the Ranger will lead you down to the crypt to answer all your questions.

Grant's Life Through Architecture

Students explore Grant's Tomb, identifying the architectural styles and features used in this structure. Discussion topics include the reason for memorializing, how it has changed over the years, and how previous styles have influenced others. Students are challenged to compare this style of memorial to what is being proposed for the World Trade Center Memorial.
