Answer: Ronald Reagan

Reagan was born in Illinois and is buried in California.

4. Which of these Presidents lies buried closest to his birthplace?

Answer: Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon's grave is practically in the shadow of the house in which he was born. Eisenhower is buried in Kansas and was born in Texas. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri and is buried in Independence, Missouri. Hoover is a close second; his grave is about 200 yards from the house he was born in.

Answer: Dwight Eisenhower

As President, Eisenhower fought as hard for peace as he did for victory in WWII. In spite of the urging of the State Department, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Security Advisor, and Congressional leaders he refused to use nuclear weapons on at least five occasions.

6. Which of the following pairs of Presidents are NOT buried in the same location?

Answer: Chester Arthur and Calvin Coolidge

Both Arthur and Coolidge were born in Vermont, but Arthur is buried in Albany, New York. Kennedy and Taft are buried in Arlington National Cemetery, John Adams and his son are buried next to one another in Quincy, Massachusetts, and John Tyler and James Monroe are buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. Jefferson Davis is also buried in the Hollywood cemetery, making it the only site with the graves of three Presidents. Sort of.

Answer: Zachary Taylor

Zachary Taylor was born on a farm in rural Virginia but is buried in Lexington, Kentucky. Richard Nixon was born and is buried in Yorba Linda, California. Herbert Hoover was born and is buried in West Branch, Iowa. Martin Van Buren was born and is buried in Kinderhook, New York.

8. Which of the following Presidents has NOT been buried more than once?

James Polk's grave has been moved twice. Zachary Taylor was moved once and exhumed and re-interred in 1991. Abraham Lincoln is easily the most peripatetic dead President.
