Important Notes: Please Read!

1. This web site is about U.S. political history and cemeteries. For convenient presentation of this material, the site includes a page for each of the more than 3,000 counties in the U.S., as well as for various U.S. and foreign territories and countries. The Political Graveyard has no official connection with any of those areas or governments. For more information about this project, please see the Main Page.

2. The list of cemeteries here is not comprehensive, nor is it intended to be. This site only lists about 5,000 cemeteries where politicians are known to have been buried (the number grows gradually as more research is done). There are an estimated 250,000 cemeteries in the United States. The closest thing to a complete list is the U.S. Geological Survey's GNIS database, which lists about 109,000 cemeteries. See also Interment.Net (Cemetery Records Online), which has collected millions of interment records from thousands of cemeteries.

3. Assignment of birthplaces, deathplaces, and cemeteries to counties is subject to error. The intent is to locate places according to current county names and boundaries. If you don't find what you're looking for, check other nearby counties, the unassigned page, or the Gazetteer. Any corrections to county locations would be greatly appreciated. See contact information on the Main Page.
