General Grant National Memorial is one of over 400 National Park Service sites in the United States and its territories. Since 1959, the National Park Service has been the steward and caretaker of the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the Commanding General of the United States (Union) Army during the American Civil War and later during Reconstruction, serving as this country’s 18th President.

General Grant National Memorial is a tribute to the man credited with winning the Civil War and is considered a symbol of gratitude from a thankful Nation. Visitors to the memorial can expect to learn about the life of General Ulysses S. Grant, his contribution to the war, his goals and accomplishments as President and will see these aspects of his life symbolized through Greco–Roman architecture.
