Rebecca Roberts gave a tour of Washington’s Congressional Cemetery as she talked about its history and some of the people buried there. Located 18 blocks from the U.S. Capitol, for much of the 19th century it was the traditional burial site for members of Congress who died in office. It is the final resting place for many military and government officials and other prominent Americans as well as the local residents and some notable people forgotten by history. close
