To start our 24 hours of seeing the city
we headed out on a long subway ride to
General Grant
National Memorial, otherwise known as Grant's Tomb.
It is in a part of the city we've not
spent any time in and wanted to check out. (It's in
Morningside Heights up on the upper west side near Columbia
University, north of Central Park around 123rd.)
The remains of General/President
Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia are entombed here and the
mausoleum (the largest in North America) which is also a museum to
the interesting life of Grant.
It is a really neat building and
while small, the museum is well done. We also enjoyed the
peaceful grounds. More photos later in the slideshow. |
