In the building proper, they have a complete display of old items of the period, including medical items, and stuff like the first edition of Grant's memoirs, and the actual pen he used when writing them when he was dying of throat cancer. more on Epinions.com

The girl at the front desk is hilarious and very nice, so even if you get bored of the actual place, you can always talk to her for a while. more on Epinions.com

The answer to this trick question of "Who is buried in Grant's tomb is "No one". Two people are entombed there though. They are above ground in North America's largest ... more on Epinions.com
