Our Story
Upon school letting out on June 16th, 2008, we decided to travel to Kinderhook, NY, and visit Martin Van Buren's grave. It was quite surprising that from the size of Chester Arthur's grave, MVB's grave was as small as it was. The monument was the first thing that we saw, and we assumed that it was the grave, but after exploring around the monument, we discovered the small headstone marking the individual resting place of MVB. Upon finding the Revolutionary War Veteran Plaque, we were quite confused, until we soon realized that it was his father who served in the war, and not him. After this visit, we were off again, this time to a much more memorable grave, FDR.
