RE: Gravesite inspiration welcome
I love touring historical houses as well. Aside from Lincoln's house in Springfield and the Soldiers' Home in DC, some of my favorites are the Ritner boardinghouse in Chambersburg, PA (used by John Brown and his men). I did a blog post on it some time ago. It may be of interest here because in some ways, the boardinghouse keeper, Mary Ritner, was a luckier version of Mary Surratt:

I live within miles of the Kennedy Farm in Maryland used by John Brown, but I've never been able to go inside due to COVID restrictions and then to the place being closed for repairs. I'm hoping it will open to the public one of these days.
