Just returned from a Presidential vacation. I went through Benjamin Harrison's home in Indianapolis, Indiana, his gravesite in Crownhill cemetery and the Zoo. You can visit the website; www.benjaminharrison.org , scroll down to the bottom and click on where ir says 'hear him speak' and see what his voice sounded like in 1888 in this rare recording.

Went south to Louisville, Kentucky and visited Zachary Taylor's grave, then south to Hodgenville,and Abe Licoln's birthplace and farm and another boyhood farm a few miles east, Knobcreek. Up to Cincinnati, Ohio through William Howard Taft's birth home and the Zoo. A little east to U.S. Grant's birthplace in Point Pleasant, a little east to his boyhood home and schoolhouse in Georgetown, and towards the west by Indiana where William Henry Harrison is buried at North Bend, Ohio.

That now makes 14 Presidential gravesites I have visited.

Just thought I would share a little trip trivia.
