Home: East Aurora, NY
Millard Fillmore lived here from 1825-1830.
The Story
Upon leaving Buffalo, we proceded to go to East Aurora to see Millard Fillmore's home. We arrived at about 3:30, only to find that we were late and had missed the last tour. Oh well. We roamed around the grounds for a while, took a few pictures, and then headed to the car. I was quite disappointed, as I had looked for weeks to find the information on the house, and made sure that we went there on a day when it was going to be open.
Grave: Buffalo, NY
On March 8th,1874, Millard suffered a severe stroke and died, at age 74. He was buried here, along with his 2 wives, children, and, as a memorial to him, a pink granite obelisk is located in his burial plot.
The Story
On September 5, 2009, I reluctantly left for Buffalo at around 6:00 AM, we drove for about 5 hours, stopped at 2 rest stops on the way, and ate breakfast in the car. We arrived at the cemetery around 11:00 AM and very easily located the Fillmore plot, opened the gates, and admired the scenery around us. After finding all of the Fillmore graves, we looked for the grave of Nathan Kelsey Hall, his law partner, and found that as well. However, as the saying goes, the third time's the charm, and we were unable to locate the grave of Sara Hinson, the founder of Flag Day

I wasn't fooled this time, I knew that the obelisk wasn't the grave, and after taking the pictures, I went directly to the back of the plot and found the real graves.
