Who is the only president buried in Washington, DC?

Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) is 28th US President, 34th New Jersey Governor, Nobel Peace Prize Winner.

He is best remembered for keeping America neutral at the start of World War I, but reluctantly entering the war in 1917, joining the Allied Powers, primarily Britain and France, to defeat the Central Powers led by Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, and for creating the League of Nations, intended to help preserve territorial integrity and political independence among all nations after the end of World War I. He strongly advocated antitrust laws and was a staunch supporter of voting rights for women.

He died from a stroke in 1924 and is the only US President to have been buried in Washington DC.

Barbara Beck, Being NEAR Washington D.C. does not mean IN D.C..Arlington and D.C. are 2 separate municipalities. Wilson is buried in the Washington National Cathedral which is actually within the borders of Washington, D.C Those buried in Arlington National Cemetery are buried in the confines of the city of Arlington, in the state of Virginia, on the opposite side of the Potomac River.

His stroke was hidden from the public for a long time.

Reluctant to enter WW 1? Give me a break. Like FDR in regards to WW 2, Woodrow Wilson always planned on getting the US into a world war.

Andrew Perlstein, Go away & take your dumb angst with you. This is TRIVIA CLUB, not the whiny baby's crib.

To be really annoyingly picky...why not on quiz club😜...no President is actually buried in Washington DC. Wilson is in an above ground sarcophagus in the lower level of the National Cathedral. This is for those old enough to remember Groucho and You Bet Your Life where he’d ask The Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb question, explaining no body was since Grant is also in a sarcophagus...it was always good for a laugh, especially after he explained repeatedly that no one was and folks would still answer Grant.
