General Grant National Memorial Visitor Center and Overlook Pavilion

Located west of the mausoleum across the southbound lane of Riverside Drive, the visitor center provides a bookstore/gift shop, information desk staffed by a park ranger, interpretive exhibits and a 22-minute park film about Ulysses S. Grant and the mausoleum. The overlook pavilion offers a view of the surrounding Riverside Park and the Hudson River. The structure was originally a comfort station built in 1910 and was renovated to become the visitor center in 2011.
