Aaron Burr's tombstone is among many other historical graves
Dad finally got some time to explore yesterday morning since his flight was not supposed to leave Newark until 4:30pm. He began his morning of leisure by going to the Princeton Cemetery, where many historical figures are buried. There were Presidents, Senators, Admirals, Generals, and other dignitaries. Grover Cleveland and Aaron Burr were the most recognizable of the lot. He was in awe as he stood next to the grave of the man that killed Alexander Hamilton and the grave of the last "good" Democrat president.
