- Our journey to visit the graves of every President was done over many road trips between 1982 and 2023. This video pays homage to those Presidents and their service to the United States of America.
As a Pakistani I've always been envious of your founders. This country was such a gift starting out with and, in my opinion, has the most beautiful constitution. To look at it now hurts. What has become of its anti-philosophic youth and government is sad.
As Winston Churchill once said “democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the others that have been tried.” We all have a role in making sure it survives.
No tf it wasn't if you knew what it really took for our country to become what it is you better ask your self do you have the stomach strength for it
It's a rite of passage for school-age children in Northeast Ohio to visit James Garfield's tomb. I think I went twice by the time I reached junior high. I enjoyed this. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They did visit James Garfield’s grave
What a wonderful video. Well done!! I found this very enjoyable to watch and learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you...it was fun putting it together. Glad you enjoyed it.
you did not learn reality , he just made you , feel good. the reality , no a single one of this men was an American president. saludos
Sorry to disagree but each one of these men was an American President and each played a role in what the country is today..for good or for bad.
@@kenredding8429 hello , how exactly can you disagree with my correct comments, AMERICA DO NOT HAVE A PRESIDENT, NO A GOVERNMENT. Please , can you explain you position with examples. thanks for you elegant reply. saludos 🖖 to all United States Of America nationals
Learned so much about our passed presidents. Thanks for taking the time and putting this video together for all of us to enjoy...
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@kenredding8429I am aware. Those numbers I put next to the names are time stamps so people watching can click on.
Thank you! It was not clear to me, but very good idea to index them.
What about Jimmy Carter????
@@Simplehomechurch2024 He's still alive.
Most EXCELLENT video....MY favorite song @ the end!!!!!!!!!!
Mine too...glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing how modest and discrete many of their graves are, even some who were the most accomplished and high profile. Others, who didn't do much, or serve very long, have HUGE gravesites.....
Great post - obviously, a lot of effort went into this - and you're very lucky to have had a lovely and helpful traveling partner.....
Thanks! We were taken by the diversity in the graves with the same observations you shared. Yes, I am lucky to have such a great partner!
Thank you. This was great. God bless America 🇺🇸.
You are welcome...and yes God Bless America.
Hi Kat Merry Christmas in advance❤.
Look at America now because of Trump. It is so divided and full of hate,@@kenredding8429
A very nice and thorough presentation Sir!
Very good work indeed.
may God bless all of them, and of course may God Bless America Eternally !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and yes, God Bless America.
This was so interesting. I had forgotten many of these presidents. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a long but very interesting project for me.
Hi Patty Merry Christmas in advance.
Really enjoyed this wonderful video! What great leaders of our country! God bless them all!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Monroe and Tyler are buried in the same cemetery as my grandparents, an uncle, and my mom
Yes they are and nearly next to each other.
The amazing thing about John Tyler, the 10th president 31:28 is that as of this year, 2023, he has a living grandchild. Not a great-great grandchild, or a great grandchild, but a grandchild, i.e. the son of one of his sons.
Yes that is amazing.
Was able to get his autograph shortly before he was committed to a nursing home for dementia here in Virginia (I’m stationed at Norfolk), we spoke for a good 20 minutes, amazing guy.
Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born November 9, 1928) …..such amazing history…
wow...that's great
@@Station7Jason is he still at the nursing home now...today as 11.1.2023? I should love to visit him and get his autograph too.
My wife and daughter and I just visited Lincoln's home and his tomb in Springfield a few weeks ago, when we went to the Illinois State Fair to see a concert.
His Presidential Libary is also there and worth a visit. Interesting to see how much he aged from photos when first taking office to just before he was assassinated.
The background music is befitting for this video. Very well done.
Thanks. It is American Frontiers by Aaron Kenny and one of my favorites.
@@kenredding8429I’ve been to eight president graves. Reagan, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Lincoln, Polk, Washington,and FDR
A good start indeed! It took us 3 years to get it done once we got serious about it. A good way to plan your road trips around them and a great way to see a lot of this great country.
Love that you and your wife visited them all so pictures there!
We had a good time visiting each grave. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Benjamin Harrison was born on my birthday: August 20th (but a number of years before I was). Excellent and informative video.
Thanks...glad you enjoyed it.
Sarah Palin’s on my birthday!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@johncollins7062 It can be argued that that honor goes to Garfield. His widow saved all of his papers and memorabilia in one room in their home. The tour guide told our group that this was the germ for the idea of presidential libraries..
@johncollins7062 Not a conviction. The Garfield collection was just a germ of the idea for what eventually became presidential libraries. Actually, if you look online, FDR's is credited as being the first!
I'm half way through this but I just have to say that I am SO very happy to see that the houses and graves of the Presidents are so well maintained.
Yes, some more so than others but if you get the chance to visit any of these sites, don't miss the opportunity. All are worthwhile to see.
Fantastic job on this! Thank you !
Thanks Kevin! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very Interesting I enjoyed he Video Lots of information here...
Thanks Donna, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Donna Merry Christmas In advance.
Well done! Very well done!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
thanks for putting this together, very informative
Thanks, it was a learning experience for me in putting it together. Glad you enjoyed it.
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt (FDR) were also 5th cousins.
Yes they were, and Eleanor was Teddy's neice.
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. Great road trip! I am jealous I would love to do this after I retire.
Thanks! Actually several road trips and all were memorable.
Merci beaucoup pour votre travail.
Je suis français et l'histoire des Etats Unis me passionne.
Very glad you enjoyed the video. I wish I could respond in French. Thank you!
Oui, je suis aussi une français.
If you visit the LBJ historical Park and after that five minutes is over with make sure explore the area around that.
That portion of Texas had lots of things to see and do.😊
Yes it does. Thanks Derek.
Great video! Thank you for posting😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank You, you did a very good job om this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
That was awesome! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video, James Garfield had my favorite burial spot that was insane looking.
I lived a stones throw from the Hermitage for Andrew Jackson.
We pronounce it like heritage instead of the Taj from Taj Mahal sound in the end.
I need to go see it again haven't been since a kid.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Respectfully done. Thank you.
Dear Jesus please help our country and get rid of all the vile swamp. Amen
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Santa is more likely and more real. Dummie.
Thank you for this well presented, clear and concise remembrance.
Glad you enjoyed it Aaron.
What an interesting video I really learned alot of interesting history about all of our presidents
Thanks Bonnie1 Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Bonnie Merry Christmas in advance.
Awesome educational video! I love history
Thanks Steven! Glad you enjoyed it. A journey I would recommend to anyone who loves history.
President Eisenhower was born on my birthday. I was so excited about that as a youngster. I wanted to let him know that through mailing him a birthday card. I never sent it but as of today in my 70s wish I had. I was born during his term of office.
A great man indeed. His family home, library, and grave is in Abilene KS and worth the trip if you are ever in that area. The only home he ever owned is in Gettysburg PA and also worthy of a visit.
He was great and hid his smarts.
Hi Cynthia Merry Christmas in advance.
Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson and Jimmy Carter are 8 of Diamonds 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 the Sun 😎🌞 Card MERRY Christmas 🎄🎁🤶🎅⛄ Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I went to see President Buchanan's burial site last year because it was close to where I lived at the time, and as you pointed out, he was the only President from Pennsylvania until President Biden. (He also lived in my native Lancaster County, so that's a plus!)
Lancaster County is indeed a beautiful place. We had a bit of a challenge finding this grave. Some of the sites are not particularly well marked and this one took us a little time to find.It was worth the effort, as was all the others.
The 2 worst Presidents also go figure 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good video. A few corrections: Theodore Roosevelt was not President when he was shot. John Tyler was never elected to a term of his own.
Thanks Robert. You are correct, TR was shot in 1912 while campaigning after his Presidency. I have edited the video for the John Tyler blooper. Thanks for bringing these to my attention.
and Gerald Ford failed in his bid for election, not "re-election", because he had never been elected President.
Oh, and the minor detail that there's been a total of 46 presidents
@@notevenreal971 Yeah, Grover Cleveland causes people to make that mistake (#22 and #24).
Thank you for your educational video. I'm glad I just found your video. I'm in UK. So this is new to me.
Glad you enjoyed it! Turns out I am visiting in the UK till Sunday. Having a grand time driving on the other side of the street!
Love the National Anthem. Thank you this is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
You are a very good narrator sir. Something about your tone and your way of speech really resonates with this video and its historical context. For some odd reason i can just imagine you as a narrator for american historical dramas or documentaries. Your voice has that tone of gravitas like them.
Thank you very much for those kind words. A number of folks have said they find my New England (Boston) accent annoying. Glad you enjoyed the video and the accent!
Thanks for the video! Truly enjoyed it. Never realized so many of our early presidents married cousins something they don’t teach in history books 😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Tried to put a more personal touch on it and not just dates.
You missed 3 presidents
President Carter is now 99 years old!! RIP Mrs. Carter 🕊
Yes, doubt he will make it to 100 now that his bride has died.
I hope he lives to the age 101.
I hop Jimmy Carter reaches 128. Like the dad of my dad. CAUSE MY FAMILY IS FRENCB AND FRANCE HAS A HIGH LIVING EXPECTANCY.
My 5th grade teacher had an idea about having a special graveyard just for the Presidents. I think Mt Vernon, Monticello, and Springfield, Illinois would have a MAJOR problem with that.
They sure would. Amazing to visit all these graves and how different each one is.
@@kenredding8429 IOW, it's a classic case of sounds good/makes sense on paper...but could never realistically work.
It could work put its as always a money thing & the states & cities presidents come from & retire see it as tourist traps & income which is why especially popular ones even if not good or even if they leave office in disgrace many would still want to boast about so & so who was a US president. Especially these political turbulent times both parties tend to love their presidents even if the other party & independent voters don't. Personally, I think the president should be buried either at the white house or at their library after all their home state & town usually get their library & museum & having all presidents & first lady's buried at the house like many European Monaches were regularly buried in the same church or cemetery as past monarchs while other members of the royal families were often buried on Family estates. Still to try & change it now would be problematic because of the tourist traps states & cities think they'll get. That being said I also think a person should have their choice of where to be eternally buried. Being honest Abe Lincoln's really the only president worth a darn all the rest have done at best very little & most have been blatantly corrupt particularly the last 123 years or so.
Sorry, that's wrong....they had 4 children , Caroline, John, Patrick and Annabelle
John Kennedy and Jackie had 4 children ...as i messaged below !!
When I retire I would like to visit all the presidents gravesites and memorials. Think it would be neat.
It makes for some very interesting road trips for sure.
I enjoyed your video immensely. Well made.Thank you!
Very glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video .
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@kenredding8429 You're welcome .
I visited the McKinley memorial many years ago. His wife and two daughters are there as well.
It is a very impressive memorial for sure.
Well done, Sir. Thank You. I do wish you had included one more slide showing the rear chamber of Lincoln’s Illinois memorial, where the family is actually entombed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I knew the obvious ones like Washington, Lincoln, JFK, Jefferson. I've been to all of them plus a few others. Like Nixon, Reagan, and mist recently to George Herbert Walker Bush. But learned a couple I didn't know. Thanks. Added them to my bucket list.
Glad you enjoyed it. We really enjoyed going to each one and planned road trip vacations around them. Teddy Roosevelt was one of out favorites but all are worth a visit.
@@kenredding8429 couldn't agree more. 🎶
This was a great video… thanks 👍👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much!
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting and nicely done.
Thanks Anthony! Glad you enjoyed it. An interesting project for me.
I love graveyard's , these are all beautiful places for that final rest. Good video 👍⚰
Glad you enjoyed it.
Two of the presidents are buried in Hollywood Cemetary in Richmod, Virgiina. John Tyler and James Monroe are buried not far from each other. The Confederate predident, Jefferson Davis is also buried here.
As of this posting, John Tyler has a grandson still living. Harrison Tyler Ruffin at age 95 is the last of Tyler's grandchildren.
Yes...and in an ironic twist of fate, the Jefferson Davis monument is facing one with the name Grant on it. Of course U. S. Grant is in Grant's Tomb in NYC along with his wife Julia.
This was interesting. Thank you for creating and sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Fun to put it together.
Never gets old
Glad you enjoyed the video. It was fun putting it together and visiting each of those hsitoric graves.
Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. Glad you included the wives.
Glad you enjoyed it! The wives played an intergral part in the lives of each of these men for sure.
Thanks for your informative video, very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you - well done 🫡
Glad you enjoyed it!
Franklin Roosevelt served from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945, which is 12 years, 1 month, and 8 days, not 12 years and 11 days, as stated in the video.
Thanks John...I thought I had said 12 years and11 weeks not days but your description is more precise.
Well Done!
Thanks Clint. Fun making it.
John Tyler had the most children. Anna Harrison (WH Harrison’s wife) had more kids than any First Lady, but Tyler had two wives, each of whom bore him a lot of kids.
Yes, he was very prolific!
🇺🇸People who think Jimmy Carter will reach the age of 100🇺🇸
👇🏻
He has lasted longer than most would predict, so who knows!
I really enjoyed this video with all of the interesting info! (We have the same accent.)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am hoping Jimmy Carter goes the distance and makes it to his 100th birthday
It’s pretty much guaranteed he makes it to 99
I don't think the odds are in his favor from the reports that have been made, but we are pulling for him.
He’s been receiving hospice care for a while now.
Interesting and educational video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
John Tyler was later elected to the Confederate States congress, but died before taking office. He was the only US President to not be buried with the stars and stripes draped over his coffin, instead being buried under the stars and bars
Did not know that! Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting. Doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum your on. This is interesting.
Thanks Tom...that was my goal to make it interesting and not political. Glad you enjoyed it.
If you look it up there we’re a few presidents before George Washington, but George Washington was the very first one in president. That’s why he’s considered the first president, but they were presidents before him that were not sworn in and that’s why those presidents were not ever talked about.
Several men held the position before George Washington : John Hanson (Nov 5 1781 - Nov 3 1782), Elias Boudinot (Nov 4 1782 - Nov 2 1783), Thomas Mifflin (Nov 3 1783 - Nov 29 1784), Richard Henry Lee (Nov 30 1784 - Nov 22 1785), John Hancock (Nov 23 1785 - Jun 5 1786), Nathaniel Gorham (Jun 6 1786 - Feb 1 1787), Arthur St. Clair (Feb 2 1787 - Jan 21 1788), Cyrus Griffin (Jan 22 1788 - Apr 30 1789), and Samuel Huntington (Sept 28 1779 - July 10 1781). Why do these men seem to be left out of history books, forgotten by the world?
You are correct. Washington was the first after adoption of the Constitution but there were Presidents prior to him as you stated.
Not exactly. These gentlemen were Presidents of Congress (of the United States) and heads of state of the United States. They were not "Presidents of the United States".
I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Fun putting it together.
I was born in 1991
There have been 6 presidents so far, in my lifetime
There have also been 4 former presidents that have died so far in my lifetime
I have been around a little longer. Harry Truman was President when I was born!
You sir must be from Massachusetts. Im from Wistah county.😊
Me too! South Wistah county for me.
Great vid! 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never gets old👍
Thanks Lee!
Thank you. Very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun Fact. George Washington was the First president after the Signing of the declaration of independence. But he overall was the 14th president of the United States. But most people don't know that. Because they never teach that in schools.
That is an interesting bit of "lost" history. Washington was the first President after the signing of the United States Constitution.
@kenredding8429 yes they don't teach that in school at all.
So who were the first 14
@@Randy.lorenzo they never said because no one wrote it down in a book.
@@mr.garlicman3134Oh, right. That did happen.

Van Buren: Asthma
Harrison: Pneumonia
Tyler: Likely stroke
Polk: Cholera
Taylor: Gastroenteris
Fillmore: Stroke
Pierce: Liver cirrhosis

Thanks! Good information for an updated video at some point.
Garfield, although he was shot, really died due to malpractice by his doctor. He actually died of sepsis
Same could be said with William Henry Harrison. The main accepted cause of death is indeed pneumonia, however it’s been argued for years that it had more to do with medical care (blood letting, and other common practices at the time) rather than pneumonia itself
Yes, you are correct. If it had happened today, he most likely would have survived.
@@kenredding8429 we definitely could have saved garfield, harrison and Washington
McKinley home at the end was his wife's not his. The home he lived in where he held his front porch campaign was torn down
Yes the house shown is the Saxton-McKinley House. According to the NPS, the couple lived in the historic Saxton-McKinley House for 13 years; the home was their primary residence throughout the majority of the McKinley's married life.
@@kenredding8429 That is not true .. I've lived in Canton my entire life... McKinley lived there in his wife's home while he was in Congress...then he moved North up Market Ave to the house he lived in when he wasn't Governor of Ohio and where his famous Front Porch Campaign was...after he died the house was let go to ruins when the city of Canton moved it to SW canton off if 6th st SW until it was torn down....where it originally stood first became a hospital "Mercy", and now is part of the Stark County District Library!
Thanks for setting the record straight Jim.
Give your English teacher a pat on the back
@@Paradoxical124😂
Some of these comments are a real reflection on how mentally ill and childish some people are.
The goal of the video was to pay tribute to the people who occupied the office of President of the United States. Some have reflected the divisiveness that exists in the US today in their comments. I wouldn't call them mentally ill or childish, just good people who look at things differently based on what they see and hear. I wish we could find the common ground of people who love this country and work together to solve some of the big problems we all face.
Had a trip to L.A this past summer. Wished I had known that President Regan was buried there.
It has been many years since our visit to the Reagan Library, but it remains one of my favorites. Quite an experience to see and board his Air Force One. Hope you get the chance to get there.
No one is buried in Grant’s Tomb, they are
above ground! RIP to all the deceased Presidents.
Indeed they are! Hope you enjoyed it.
next stop .. Jimmy carter
Yes, sadly Jimmy is in very poor health. I see a video update in the not to distant future.
Poor taste
Little known fact. Very good video BTW. Bill
Thanks Bill! Glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting video and I enjoyed it. Although I do have to say, Reagan isn't the only movie actor to become president. Donald Trump was in Home Alone 2, The Little Rascals and I think Zoolander.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, you are correct. I will make that correction when I update the video for the next President to pass on.
VERY INTERESTING, #SCOTLAND
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
this is enjoyable. I watched it a lot :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
@@kenredding8429 No problem :’)
Excellent video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nicely done!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
My family is actually distantly related to Jimmy Carter. (No, I don't see him at family reunions, like I said it's distant but traceable.)
He is a good person to have on your tree!
sad he's dying
It can be said that George H W Bush is buried in College Station, Texas but it is even more accurate to say that he along with his wife and daughter are buried on the campus of Texas A&M with which he totally fell in love. He visited the campus many times. And A&M became his most loved college.
You are 100% correct. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. A very good man.
Very nice! ❤❤❤

Bit of a weird question, but are you from Boston?
I was for most of my life....now I am in Florida where I don't have to shovel snow!
@@kenredding8429 ah cool!
We got to visit George Washington's tomb last year. I was honored to be there and even though I was out of uniform(I'm a law enforcement officer) I saluted the General. Also, fun fact, our 10th president John Tyler still has a living grandson, Harrison Tyler who is 95 years old. How's that for a legacy.
Mount Vernon is definitely a special place and worth the visit. I saluted each and every one as we visited their graves, even the ones who may not have shared my view of the world. It is a tough job for sure.
Well done.,.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
