In 2003, nine year old presidential history buff Kurt Deion, presented his father with a gigantic request: to visit the graves of all the Presidents of the United States. Kurt’s dad accepted his son’s request and thus began a decade long adventure of a lifetime that came to include all of the Vice Presidents as well and took Kurt and his family all across the country!

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Kurt Deion, public historian and author of the book, “Presidential Grave Hunter: One Kid’s Quest to Visit the Tombs of every President and Vice-President”.

Kurt will share experiences from his quest, such as attending a Sunday school class led by Jimmy Carter, paying his respects to Ronald Reagan as he lay in state in the Capital Rotunda and standing next to assassinated President James Garfield’s casket in a section of his tomb that only a handful of people had visited in the last fifty years! He will also tell us stories he learned along the way that include grave robberies and a forensic exhumation.
