Inside Grant's Tomb











The flag room included a falg from the Illinois volunteer infantry.


Julia's tomb is also here.








Dedication of the building.

































From the bottom of the stair case. The downstairs goes in a circle around the tombs.
























Looking up towards the main floor.













These statues were all around the room in the lower level. We suspect they were Civil War generals, but will have to look that up.

Lilly's favorite was this horse statue. She did excellent. The building was emptry except for a guard and seomeon cleaning the floor. She was able to walk around and talk without bothering any one. She enjoyed climbing the stairs herself and looking at the displays.
