Gravesite inspiration welcome

[Eva Elisabeth]

A few days ago, I was invited to an online video casting for "Who wants to be a millionaire", the only TV show I love to watch due to my trivia addiction.

Of course, they prefer candidates that have some stories to tell or weird hobbies, which I obviously offer.
Amongst other, they were interested in my interest in Lincoln, the assassination, and the Rathbone- gravesearch- story. Like 99% of all Germans, they found it weird to search and visit gravesites of historical individuals at all. I was asked why people/I would do this. I replied that I first got in touch with this free time activity when I joined the forum, and that I came to find it fascinating because it means to "meet" those historical individuals "in person" (not just their properties or belongings), and that it helps to realize the past really happened, these individuals really lived, and that all isn't just a fairly tale.

Maybe forum members (= you) can express this better or add reasons I am unaware of?! So -

- Why are you searching and visiting "historical" gravesites?
- What sites have you already seen, and which is your favorite? (Why?)
- What sites are still on your bucket list (and why?)?

Any input and inspiration on this is most welcome and appreciated!!
