Presidential Gravesites

Woodrow Wilson’s Tomb

It's hard to believe, but it's true. The grave of the 28th President of the United States is outshone on a daily basis by a gargoyle of Darth Vader.

Benjamin Harrison’s Tomb

Benjamin Harrison may be the least remembered president of all. If so, obscurity isn't so bad.

William McKinley’s Tomb

McKinley's tomb is on a massive hill, towering over Canton like a colossus.

Theodore Roosevelt’s Grave

Young's Memorial Cemetery is a small, steep spot on the way to TR's house, known today as the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site.

William Taft’s Gravesite

Taft is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. So is John F. Kennedy, and unfortunately for Mr. Taft his younger, more handsome successor gets all the attention

Ulysses S Grant’s Tomb

Grant is in Grant's Tomb. Sorry to spoil the riddle for you.

James Garfield’s Tomb

It's not every day that you see a painting of an assassin inside the victim's tomb.

Grover Cleveland’s Grave

Visit the grave on nonconsecutive occasions. It's Grover Cleveland, you have to do it that way.

Rutherford B Hayes

Hayes's tomb isn't the biggest in the state, but there's something big to see in Fremont nonetheless.

Andrew Johnson’s Grave

A trip to Greeneville takes some doing. But it is very, very worth it.

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.

Abraham Lincoln’s Burial Site

Lincoln's body has been moved more times than a journeyman infielder through the National League, but with 12 feet of concrete overhead he's not going anywhere these days.

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.

John Adams’ Tomb

It doesn't smell in this basement crypt, but even if it did, there are two presidents and two first ladies in there. A room like that could smell if it wanted to.

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.
