Annual Wreath Laying & Buchanan Birthday Celebration
Widely vilified at his death, Buchanan directed that he not be buried at Wheatland for fear vandals desecrating his grave would damage the house also. He is buried at Woodward Hill Cemetery off South Queen Street, where a White House wreath will be placed as part of the annual marking of his passing.
Afterward, a birthday celebration for the 15th President’s 226th birthday takes place at Wheatland, with tours of the mansion given by students of James Buchanan Elementary School. Cake and punch will be served.

PermalinkGoing to graduate school was a positive decision for me. I enjoyed the coursework, the presentations, the fellow students, and the professors. And since my company reimbursed 100% of the tuition, the only cost that I had to pay on my own was for books and supplies. Otherwise, I received a free master’s degree. All that I had to invest was my time. custom banner houston

Peals of laughter could be heard.
