I'm reading Sarah Vowell's book "Assassination Vacation" right now. Basically she is writing about all the places she visited that have something to do with the assassinations of presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. If I could take a vacation to all the fascinating historical places I want to visit I would go see the Winchester Mystery House and Alcatraz Prison in California. I'd also love to take the Jack the Ripper tour in London. I might go to Salem Massachussetts where the witch trials where held. Maybe I could swing by Boston and see some sites related to the Boston Strangler murders too.
She also mentions a website in her book called FindAGrave.com which is one of her favorite websites because she often visits the graves of famous historical figures, particularly those involved in presidential assassinations. I went to the site and found a listing of all the victims of the Titanic sinking and Jack the Ripper murder victims. If I were to go visiting graves I'd go see those, there are two mass burial sites for Titanic victims in Canada that I would love to see. I'd also visit the graveyard dedicated to those who were executed during the Salem Witch Trials in Massachussetts. And while I was in Massachussetts I'd go visit the grave of Albert DeSalvo, the alleged Boston Strangler.
