Description
Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States, died in office in 1850. His remains were buried in this simple crypt on the property owned by his family in Louisville.
A portion of the original homestead was later donated to the United States for use as a national cemetery. However, a small section of what is now the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery remains in the possession of the Taylor family. It is cared for by the National Park Service but remains reserved for members of the Taylor family.
