I sooo like the gravesites of presidents and the backstory involved. The further back you go the more exciting it gets due to the way that they conducted themselves in a much different era.
Wow the Washington National Cathedral 😳 is breathtaking 😍 Thanks for showing us around. And for showing us Woodrow Wilson's grave site. Take care Steve. 🙂
Wow!! that’s amazing. The four presidential gravesites are in walking distance from the White House!! The cathedral looks beautiful!! I didn’t know Woodrow Wilson was buried in Washington DC. Somehow I thought he was buried somewhere else but that’s amazing, I know that JFK and William Howard Taft is also buried at Arlington national cemetery. Washington DC. But that’s really neat and something I didn’t know, as always, Steve thank you very much! Been a long time fan and supporter of the channel from day one and I just wanted to say thank you so much for making such amazing videos!! It’s a true blessing to be able to come along in your adventures and it’s amazing because my favorite places you have visited are the American presidents, I’m a huge fan of American presidents, and I’m also a fan of sports such as baseball and football, I just wanted to show my appreciation, and that I thank you so much!! here’s a quick story, when I was in Boy Scouts, and I was a part of the 2005 Boy Scouts of America Jamboree, I had the privilege to tour all of Washington DC and see everything, one of my favorite places that I went to visit was Arlington National Cemetery, and I got up real close to see Presidents JFK and his family’s gravesites with the eternal flame, and William Howard Taft, I also got a chance to see Robert E. Lee’s Arlington farmhouse and I also went to the Smithsonian museums and that was a real amazing experience, especially seeing the air and space Museum, I also got a chance to see the Washington Monument up close, the Jefferson memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial, we also went to see Monticello, which is the home of President Thomas Jefferson and we also got a chance to visit Mount Vernon the home of President George Washington, that was a real big honor and one last thing we were stationed an Army National Guard base and on the last full day of our trip, President George W. Bush got a chance to speak to us at an outside arena, and thousands of Boy Scouts from all around the world, came to the national scout jamboree, and I met a lot of people from all different states and all different countries, and everybody was really nice there, and in 2007 I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 15 years old and in 2008 I had my Eagle Scout court of honor ceremony and what was really neat was I got a personal water from George W. Bush himself and he actually signed it, congratulating me on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, that is something that I will always be proud of even though that trip was 18 years ago I will be forever thankful for having that opportunity.
Hi Alexander, thanks so much for coming along on these journeys since the beginning. And congrats on your honor. That is awesome and what a great moment and memory to have. Thanks for sharing it with us! :-)
That's wonderful!I saw JFK's original grave with his 2 babies in July of 1964.The only one I missed was Hoover's as we were moving and I stayed in the car with my cat when my family did see the graves.We hope to see the Carter Graves eventually.
Sadly when I revisited DC in 2021, the Cathedral was still shut down due to Covid. I had visited Wilson's Tomb in 2010, being one of my first Presidential Gravesites, but wasn't able to revisit it on my trip to DC. But the Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking and I will revisit it again soon. Great video as always, Steve!
How frustrating Joe! I lucked out and was able to visit them all on my trip, but it wasn't easy. If I ever return to DC I would definitely visit again too!
My Dad lives in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington and I always jump on the metro and walk around Arlington National Cemetery when I'm down visiting. I suggest going to the graves that are not so famous and crowded. There are so many famous people buried there and most people don't know. There's nothing like going to the quiet parts and really taking it all in. It's stunningly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this journal with us. I will be going to Washington D.C. next year and I am going to use your video as a guide for some interesting sightseeing. Have you been to Rock Creek Cemetery in DC? Its got a lot of really interesting statuary and some remarkable mausoleums. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, I ran out of time and wasn't able to visit all the cemeteries in DC that I wanted to. Hope you have more time than I did. Good luck Mac!
I know. They are both amazing! You might just have to write a book about the history of CC one day and all of its famous residents and future residents. :-)
I’ve never made it to the National Cathedral. Would love to. The last time I was in DC, we were just coming out if the the Covid restrictions, so I couldn’t see everything I wanted to see. Great visit, as always.
Thanks for the History Lesson Steve, I was just thinking if you and Jim decide to redo your digs (Casa De TH-cam) in Palm Springs you could always do the style of the ceiling you see in that Cathedral you just showed us. I think it would work.. lol
I’m glad you posted this Steve. Maybe some kids will watch it & learn from it. Right now, they’re teaching my grandkids how great it is to rip down statues!!!
I did not know there was a Congressional Cemetery. Thanks to you, I learned something new today. One other interesting fact about President Wilson; while he was a professor at Wesleyan College in Connecticut, he also served as an assistant football coach.
I have actually been to the Washington National Cathedral, as part of the trip I took with my 8th grade class to Washington, D.C. That was back in 2014, and I still remember that trip, as it was one of the most fun and most adventurous for me. I didn't know President Wilson was buried there at the time, but in recent years, I had learned about it. Hopefully in the future, I'll go back. During that same trip, we got to visit Arlington National Cemetery, where we got to see President Kennedy's gravesite from a distance, but I can't remember if we learned that President Taft was also there. So, I've really been in the presence of three Presidential Gravesites as far as I know, and it's surreal to learn about.
That's neat that you got to visit these locations, but odd that you teachers didn't point out two of the president's graves. Thanks for sharing with us Johnny!
Are you going to be covering Robert Blake. I know he is controversial but he was in that Truman Capote movie In Cold Blood. One of the most realistic movies I ever saw. Filmed on the scene of the murder and actually had extras that were residents of the town. Blake did a wonderful performance in this brilliant film, based on the Capote book. Keep up the good work on all these videos. In has been a while. I hope you can produce more.
The correct pronunciation of Staunton is Stanton; I learned that from being a fan of the Statler Brothers; as the Statler Brothers used to say " If you can't pronounce it, you ain't from there." lol; another great video, Steve! Ps: thanks for the correct pronunciation of my last name in your thank yous at the end.
I visited Woodrow's Wilson gravesite on a Sunday back in 2008, and the Cathedral was open for visitors on that day. Perhaps they've revised the rules since then. I didn't realize the temporary internment site for John Quincy Adams. I'll look that up when I visit Washington D.C. again. Good work Steve; I always enjoy your videos!
Hi Joseph, glad you were there too. Info online can be incorrect, a lot of the time, so maybe they were open and the website was incorrect. I'm just glad I was able to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Steve ! Wow ! The cathedral is huge and beautiful ! Very interesting to learn the history of the Presidents and where they are buried ! Thanks again for all your great vlogs ! You must do a lot a research ! Take care ! Deborah 🇨🇦
Amazing video Steve I’ve been inside the Washington National Cathedral saw Helen Kellers plaque, Woodrow Wilson grave I’ve also stayed in the Palace Hotel in San Francisco where President Harding died. Back to President Wilson did you ever tour his house in Washington D.C?
Steve.... Helen Keller, Annie Sullivan and dear sweet Matt Shephard is interred in the Cathedral as well. Please say a prayer for me for Matt. Thank you
This is my first time watching your videos and posting on your site. Thank you for all the interesting information about the 4 presidents. What is it about presidents and golf anyway? 😊❤
Thanks for the video. I was in nearby Bethesda MD last week and drove by the Washington National Cathedral down the road while I was there. I had no idea President Wilson's final resting place was located in the cathedral. I probably would have stopped had I known. You weren't serious about not being able to get around just because your GPS on your mobile device wasn't working, were you???
Did you have the opportunity to visit Helen Kelley’s tomb while you were at the cathedral? When my family visited there was a private mourning taking place and was off limits
I highly recommend anyone drive (or Uber like I did) to the National Cathedral as there is much to see. I wasn't able to see it from the ground or at all, but Darth Vader's head sculpture is on the roof. Was not aware that JQ Adams was originally buried in DC. Thanks for the info and video as always!
The only time I went to Washington, D.C. was in October, 1998. I did visit JFK’s and Taft’s gravesites and also Wilson’s crypt. I loved these places. I enjoyed that very much.
I visited the Cathedral in 1977, it was a Sunday so I attended the 11:00 service (the most boring sermon I ever heard) and I visited Wilson's tomb. It's an awesome place!
I've been there before I was doing videos. I went there 9 days after the 9/11 attack and I was there in DC for 7 months supporting entry control points to the Pentagon. During that 7 months . I saw as much history as I could take in. I wish I was making videos then. I would have a bunch of material if I had . Oh well. Not sure if you mentioned it in your video, but Helen Keller is in that cathedral. Anyway, great video, as always.
That's awesome that you got to spend that much time there Danny. Such an historic city. And I'm like you, I sure wish iPhones existed during my many travels in the past. And I did visit Keller's plaque in the basement in a previous video. Thanks for sharing Danny!
It's the Episcopal cathedral for the diocese there. There's also the congressional cemetery, is actually a graveyard because it's attached to a old Episcopal church been nickname that because so many congressmen were buried there, even J Edgar Hoover is buried there
I've been there. Woodrow Wilson chose to be interred there thinking that other presidents would follow him & be interred there as well sort of a national cemetery for former presidents. However, the others had other plans & were interred elsewhere & at places that were precious & meaningful for them.
I don’t know how I didn’t know that Woodrow Wilson was buried here because I have been to the national cathedral at least once in my life. But now that I think about it, I think I was about six years old when we were there, so that might explain it.. I am loving these presidential grave visits. I have been to John F Kennedy’s grave at Arlington cemetery.
Wilson is now out of favor for a reputation as a racist. He was President of Princeton University. Princeton is now in the process of removing his name from buildings and other honors that stood for decades.
Sadly, so many of the presidents were racist. :-( It is strange though that we are addressing the racist figures from the past, but not doing anything about the racist politicians of today. They just keep getting elected with no problem. I don't get it.
I have visited Wilson, JFK, and Taft graves, didn’t know they was so close to the White House though, especially JFK and Taft being closer to the White House being they are in a different state. Did you know though that Wilson was buried in the basement of the Cathedral while his current gravesite was being built? Learned that while I took the guided tour of the cathedral, Helen Keller along with her friend Anne Sullivan is buried there also.
I was very humbled and impressive by the National Cathedral as for Wilson not so much I didn't know he was even there when I visited. I almost walked past it and would have walked past his tomb a friend pointed it out to me. Personal I have no use for the man.
Took my kids to the National Cathedral and Wilsons tomb when they were young. We used to sit on the tomb and the kids would walk on it. They were really young. It was really no big deal. The cathedral was quite impressive but nonetheless a church. So disappointed when I learned Wilson was a strict racist. Especially after all that League of Nations crap. We now know it probably did not include all nations. Maybe. Thanks for the video!
It is hard to believe Woodrow Wilson played that many rounds of golf knowing that his wife kept him from the public and congressmen due to him having a debilitating stroke.
I read somewhere that he already planned his funeral and it will be in DC. I think it will probably be held at the National Cathedral, but I couldn't verify it, so I didn't mention it. His website says he will be buried at his home in Plains, CA. I was hoping he would make it to 100, but sadly it doesn't look like that's in the cards for him. :-( Thanks for mentioning him Donald.
It was weird to me that people can go to church and sit next to Wilson on Sundays. He did a lot of good things but his legacy will always be tarnished by his overt racism and writings that have come to light in the past few decades
I agree Kevin, his location does seem strange, but kind of neat, too. Sadly, many of our presidents, politicians and religious leaders were and still are racist and sexist and homophobic and just plain cruel and heartless. Worse though, is that as a country we continue to elect them and allow them to hold positions of power and authority. And often it's the people they hate who are their biggest fans. That's the part that I don't get! :-(
I sooo like the gravesites of presidents and the backstory involved. The further back you go the more exciting it gets due to the way that they conducted themselves in a much different era.

Great video, Steve. It looks like your poor eyes are suffering from spring allergies (tis the season, unfortunately). I hope you feel better soon!
Yes, my eyes are red year round from allergies. :-( I'm allergic to pretty much everything. :-O
Thank you so much for sharing this location🪦💚
Enjoyed ,again Steve, Hope you and Jim in good health😊
Hele Keller is also interred there! Great Video Steve!

I love when you visit the presidents gravesites. They go from humble to grand.
Thank you Steve ✨
I remember going through that cathedral when I was in high school! It was breathtaking!! The stained glass is magnificent!!
I never knew about Wilson's record for round of golf. I learn something new all the time.
Great work Bud!
This is amazing Steve

I have visited the Washington Cathedral, about 50 years ago. It's the only Gothic Cathedral to be completed in one year. It is awe inspiring.
I highly recommend anyone drive (or Uber like I did) to the National Cathedral as there is much to see. I wasn't able to see it from the ground or at all, but Darth Vader's head sculpture is on the roof. Was not aware that JQ Adams was originally buried in DC. Thanks for the info and video as always!

Hi Steve hopeyou are doing well
William Henry Harrison was temporarily housed in crypt at Congressional Cemetary.
Also, Helen Keller is also at the National Cathedral.
May you live long
It's the Episcopal cathedral for the diocese there.
There's also the congressional cemetery, is actually a graveyard because it's attached to a old Episcopal church been nickname that because so many congressmen were buried there, even J Edgar Hoover is buried there
I plan to visit eventually. When I got the idea to visit all the Presidents I decided to wait on President Wilson until my wife is with me
The National Cathedral Is a beautiful Gothic building.
Woodrow Wilson was from my native state, NJ.
President Warren Harding was also an avid golfer. The newsreels of the day often showed him playing golf.
I've been there. Woodrow Wilson chose to be interred there thinking that other presidents would follow him & be interred there as well sort of a national cemetery for former presidents. However, the others had other plans & were interred elsewhere & at places that were precious & meaningful for them.

I do like to walk, but my knees don't always agree with me there.
I have been to the Washington National Cathedral. Did you know that Darth Vader’s head is on the top of the Cathedral. It is used as a grotesque.
I know, pretty cool. Thanks for mentioning it Kerrie! :-)
Woodrow Wilson was in the White House when my parents were born.Tony
Hi good afternoon
RIP Woodrow Wilson Howard Taft and JFK
That’s pretty ornate so beautiful yet so sad
A very fancy resting spot.
If you ever get the chance, go to Staunton VA to see his birth place.
I’ve toured it’s really amazing one of my favorite presidential birthplaces that I’ve visited

Sadly, many of our presidents, politicians and religious leaders were and still are racist and sexist and homophobic and just plain cruel and heartless. Worse though, is that as a country we continue to elect them and allow them to hold positions of power and authority. And often it's the people they hate who are their biggest fans. That's the part that I don't get! :-(
Wilson was such a golf nut, he would play in the snow using a black ball. Information from Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
LOL, thanks for sharing that with us V! :-)
@@TheGraveyardChannel You're welcome, Steve! Thanks for all you do and all the great videos!
W.W. not a favorite; not a fan.
A recent TH-cam video called him the worst Great President. I thought this was a more generous estimation than he deserved.
