General Grant National Memorial preserves the final resting place of 18th United States President Ulysses S. Grant and First Lady Julia Dent Grant. The site, which was completely in 1897, serves as North America's largest mausoleum, located within Riverside Park in Upper Manhattan's Morningside Heights neighborhood. Since 1958, it has been overseen by the National Park Service and may be explored for free by visitors Tuesdays through Sundays during the morning and afternoon hours. A visitor center at the site contains exhibits on Grant's life and career, featuring a bookstore and daily showings of a 20-minute documentary film, "A Legacy of Freedom."
