Buried: Washington, DC
Died: November 22, 1963
See him: President Kennedy was famously laid to rest in Arlington Cemetery, on a hill beneath Arlington House. His brother, Robert Kennedy is buried elsewhere on the hill. You will have no trouble finding the grave from the main gate at Arlington; there are signs everywhere, or if you can’t find signs, just follow the crowd.
Note: there are signs just outside the gravesite that say “Silence and Respect,” and most people do at least keep talking to a whisper.
