George Washington

George Washington is one of the US historical figures that almost everyone on a world-scale certainly remembers. Washington was able to defeat the English, and he helped create America. Moreover, he was also the first President of the United States of America, and he set the stage for democracy and its representative republics. Washington’s final resting place is located at the Washington Family Tomb at Mount Vernon, Virginia.

The reason behind in having his final resting place at Mount Vernon, Virginia, was because he lived in the area after his presidential term. Washington’s tomb features grave markers outside of the tomb for his brother, John Augustine Washington. The markers also serve significance to his nephew, Bushrod Washington. The structure of the entire Washington tomb is made out of brick, and the degree of simplicity looks perfect for the first president of the United States.
