Congratulations on your dead president’s visits. Don’t worry about Jimmy Carter. He’s going to outlive all of us. He’s got genes like Keith Richards and Willie Nelson. Hope I don’t jinx him in saying that.
We have been to the LBJ Ranch when my folks lived in San Antonio, I was serving the military during his second term. My son and I went to the Truman Library in Independence when we were on a baseball stadium trip, and Truman was the president when I was born, very eye opening to see how simpler times were then, and Missouri these days would never elect a person like Truman.
Dead Presidents' Society Interesting. I was hoping for a mention of New York's own Grant's Tomb. I have been making a point of visiting places U.S. Grant lived. I haven't been to his tomb, even though I live in New York State; I have seen it from afar, but have not walked near it. I've visited most all the places Grant lived except for Galena, Illinois and military residences. I visited where he was born, raised, and died, but not his burial site. I have not been to battle sites or places he lived while in military housing. Your keeping of a list is a good idea. I should do that. I have been to a few other presidential homes, but Grant is the only one for whom I have made a special effort. I would love to go to the LBJ ranch in Texas when the bluebonnets are in bloom. You ought to think about writing a book with photographs of the presidential tombs with brief stories that highlight their personalities.
My son and I visited Grant’s Tomb a few years ago. It used to be a bad neighborhood, but seemed perfectly safe now. It is one of the largest presidential tombs. It rivals McKiney in Canton, Ohio.

We need someone like Truman.
Nice hobby!
