Completed on April 27, 1897, Grant's Tomb honors life and service of Ulysses S. Grant. It feels like a somewhat forgotten landmark in Riverside Park when you visit today, however upon its opening one million people attended the dedication ceremony. The interior features intricate mosaic work depicting scenes from General Grant's military career and United States Presidency. The memorial was designed by architect John Duncan.
