Congressional Cemetery
Cemeteries, Capitol Hill
Fodor's Review:
Established in 1807 "for all denomination of people," this cemetery is the final resting place for such notables as U.S. Capitol architect William Thornton, Marine Corps march composer John Philip Sousa, Civil War photographer Mathew Brady, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, and many members of Congress. The cemetery is about a 20-minute walk from the Capitol. A brochure with a self-guided walking tour is available at the office and in a mailbox near the main gate.
