Historic Congressional Cemetery is a microcosm of American and DC history. And little is synonymous with both quite like the White House. Dozens of individuals memorialized at the cemetery are connected to the office of the presidency. They include cabinet members, vice presidents, an assassination conspirator, a photographer, architects, a wayward son, secretaries, a landlady, and a bodyguard. Together, they form a one of kind window into the past, showcasing the history and legacy of the American presidency all in 35 acres of the nation’s capital.
Come and experience this history come to life with presidential historian and Congressional Cemetery History Education Manager Kurt Deion on a thematic walking tour of the graves and memorials connected with the presidents!
