The Story
Upon finding out that many of the President's graves were quite close to our home in New York, me and my father decided to take up the hobby of being tombstone tourists to visit Presidential graves. Our first trip on May 3rd, 2008 led us to Albany, NY, and to Chester Arthur's grave. It was a bit damp on our trip, and we found many signs about his grave on the way or ouside of the cemetery.
