This was my first visit to Crown Hill Cemetery where President Harrison is buried at. His grave is not hard to find. Both his first and second wives are buried by him along with I am not sure if it is one of his children or who it is. There Are Also three Vice-Presidents buried there too. I went back and saw his grave in July of 2005.
