Memorial to a Great General and Commander in Chief

With an official title of General Grant National Memorial, this historic site in New York City is the final resting place of general and president Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant. Grant is perhaps most known for being the general who turned the tide of the American Civil War, and he is readily recognizable as the president whose face is on the fifty dollar bill.

The mausoleum erected to his memory is free to the public and self guided tours of the memorial are available from 10am to 5pm every day. Stop by the visitors' center (open daily from 9am to 5pm) for information about the president and memorial. Free talks about Grant are available at the visitor center at 11:15am, 1:15pm and 3:15pm seven days a week.

Open to Visitors of All Faiths

St. Patrick's Cathedral c. 1879, is a major historic landmark in New York City. With its spires rising 330 feet high which once towered over the surrounding area, this house of worship has long been a beacon of hope and peace. The impressive architecture and design truly makes this NYC historic site unique - taking up an entire city block, the cathedral houses stained glass windows designed by artists in France, England and America, an altar designed by Tiffany & Co. and a Pieta sculpture 3 times larger than Michelangelo's famous Pieta.

This National Historic Landmark has played host to a huge number of illustrious guests and has been a setting in many famous novels and movies.  There is no admission fee to enter the cathedral and visitors can go to worship, pray or simply wander through the famous cathedral. Free group tours of the cathedral are available upon reservation and visitors are always welcome to attend scheduled masses.
