John Tyler’s Grave
When the pro-Confederate Tyler died, the US government issued no acknowledgement of his passing - in effect saying "you're dead to us." Which he was.
Andrew Jackson’s Grave
General Jackson may have died in 1845, but I still advice approaching his tomb with caution.
Martin Van Buren’s Grave
The grave is like a reverse mullet; the business, in this case, is in the back and the party is in the front. Or something.
John Quincy Adams’s Tomb
Papa John is right inside the door, where as the younger Adams is a bit more tucked away - but only a bit, as this is, shall we say, an "efficiency" crypt.
James Monroe’s Tomb
Monroe is at the center of Presidents Circle, yards away from John Tyler and, hopefully, not worrying much about money as he did at the end of his life.
James Madison’s Grave
Small president, tall obelisk.
Thomas Jefferson’s Grave
Jefferson's obelisk lists the three accomplishments of which Jefferson was most proud. Being president isn't on the list.
George Washington’s Tomb
Drop by for one of the two daily wreath ceremonies; it's one of the few moments in which they open the gate and one can get an unobstructed view of the 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.
