Description
-
The result of decades of planning and effort, the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial honors the Civil War general and US President. The massive memorial features three sections: a large statue of Grant on his horse, a separate sculpture entitled Artillery on Grant's left, and a third entitled Cavalry Charge on Grant's right. By design, the statue of Grant faces exactly west, toward the Lincoln Memorial, so that these two memorials flank the National Mall.
