Meet Kurt

Future resident Kurt Deion is our Education Specialist. Since the age of eight, this native Rhode Islander has traversed the USA to visit the final resting places of over 2,000 historical and pop culture figures. He earned a master’s degree in history and is the author of the book, Presidential Grave Hunter: One Kid’s Quest to Visit the Tombs of Every President and Vice President. In 2023 he was admitted as a member of the White House Historical Association’s Next-Gen Leaders cohort. Outside of presidents and cemeteries, his passions include Batman, the Boston Red Sox, and the National Film Registry.
