Presidential Gravesites

Richard Nixon’s Grave

"Stylin'" isn't the word that comes to mind when one thinks of Richard Milhous Nixon, but this is one lovely gravesite.

Gerald Ford’s Tomb

As a president who was known for his openness and candor, it should be no surprise that Gerald Ford's gravesite is out front next to the Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids.

Lyndon Johnson’s Grave

Lyndon Johnson called the Texas Hill Country home - "it gives me serenity," he said - and if so, he's getting plenty of serenity now.

John F Kennedy’s Grave

You will have no trouble finding President Kennedy's grave from the main gate at Arlington; there are signs everywhere, or if you can't find signs, just follow the crowd.

Dwight Eisenhower’s Tomb

The Eisenhower Library campus includes a church-shaped building called the Place of Meditation. The name of the building isn't figurative: there's an actual chapel inside the Eisenhower tomb.

Harry Truman’s Grave

Truman said he wanted to be buried in the middle of his presidential library, in case he felt like getting up and doing some work.

Herbert Hoover’s Grave

It doesn't quite count as Hooverized, but when you get your own verb, you've probably earned your own elaborate gravesite.

Franklin Roosevelt’s Grave

FDR is one of several presidents who came full circle – that is, they were buried on the same grounds on which they were born.

Calvin Coolidge’s Grave

Silent Cal is in the running for having the most beautiful final resting place of any president.

Warren Harding’s Tomb

President Harding once said he hoped to be the best loved. He had a pretty good claim to being the best-loved dead president.
