Grant's Tomb

Since is is located right next to Riverside church, we stopped in to Grant's Tomb, which is a National Parks Service site. Although a tomb for a war general, the quote above the door reads "Let us have peace."
Here is Dad's more artistic picture of the building. I like it a lot.
The inside of this building is quite beautiful as well.
In the middle in a lower chamber you can see the tombs of General Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Grant.
There are also several informative displays about the Civil War battles and life during the Civil War. I think the NPS has done a pretty good job with the site.
