After spending the night outside of Princeton, we headed back into town this morning and stopped at the Princeton Cemetery first thing to pay our respects to both President Grover Cleveland…
and Vice President Aaron Burr, also known for that fatal duel with Alexander Hamilton...yikes...
Next, we enjoyed exploring the Princeton University campus and some of the places other presidents once lived!
President Woodrow Wilson lived in as many as 4 different homes during his years in Princeton, including Prospect House, this home on campus, where he lived while serving as President of the University...
I just couldn't get over all of the gorgeous Saucer Magnolia trees! Many were past their peak, but they were beautiful nonetheless!

After a yummy lunch at Princeton Institution, Hoagie Haven...
we continued on toward Albany, NY, stopping in Kingston, NY to visit the grave of Vice President George Clinton...
George Clinton succeeded Aaron Burr as the 4th Vice President of the United States serving under both President Thomas Jefferson and President James Madison. In addition, he served as the 1st Governor of New York!
From there we continued to Rhinebeck, NY to visit the grave of Vice President Levi P. Morton...
Levi P. Morton served as the 22nd Vice President of the United States serving under President Benjamin Harrison.
From there we continued on to Albany, NY!
We first made a stop at the cemetery outside the city to visit President Chester A. Arthur...
"and Peggy"!
Yep, that's Margaret "Peggy" Schuyler Van Rensselaer, the youngest Schuyler sister of the trio made famous in Hamilton...
and lastly, we ran up some steps!
And, that's a wrap... On to Vermont tomorrow!
