About
Still an active cemetery with plots available, Congressional Cemetery is owned by Christ Church and has been operated by the nonprofit Association for the Preservation of Congressional Cemetery since 1976.
Description
Founded in 1807, the cemetery is the final resting place of such notables as John Philip Sousa, J. Edgar Hoover, Vice President Elbridge Gerry, William Wirt, General Macomb and Push-ma-ta-ta. But as we say, you don't have to be rich and famous to be buried here, you just have to be dead. Located on Capitol Hill among 35 bucolic acres fronting the Anacostia River.
