That's right! The final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia is a massive structure that even rivals some European mausoleums in size.
The architectural genius behind it is John Duncan, who crafted this iconic structure with a blend of classical and Egyptian influences.
A whopping 90,000 people showed up in 1897, making it one of the largest gatherings in New York's history at the time!
Riverside Park, where the tomb is located, offers stunning views of the Hudson River and is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic.
Inside, you'll find a rotunda with a soaring dome and intricate mosaics, making it as much a work of art as a historical monument.
The famous question 'Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?' is often asked, and the answer is no one—Grant and his wife are entombed, not buried!
