Harry Houdini's Tomb
Harry Houdini’s Tomb

Harry Houdini was an American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He rests in Machpelah Cemetery, which is a Jewish cemetery, located in Glendale, Queens, New York.
You might find many cemeteries, graveyards and tombs in your location as pokestops, but this one is particularly sinister. Pokemon Go is directing many New York based trainers to go investigate Harry Houdini’s tomb! Just in case you are anyways planning to make a stopover in NY, it would be an added perk to catch some Pokemons while you're there.

    Puritan Burial

    The Battle began after Captain Benjamin Church leads his men into an ambush. While merely a handful of men died Church began to use this as a tale to preach in hopes of creating a nationalist community sparking from a common enemy. The story of how the natives would dismember and decapitate the dead left on the battlefield without a proper Catholic burial. Appalled by the stories of Church the Puritans began demanding that bodies be given a proper burial. This proved very difficult as the retrieval of the dead was the perfect set up for an ambush. If one was lucky enough and no ambush was made bodies would be hastily buried on the battlefield. This was a rarity as most bodies had been scavenged and as the customs of a proper burial took too…

    African Burial Ground

    After reading the articles it seems that many, in my opinion, value this Historic site I feel that it could not be more perfectly handled then the way it was. I primarily focused my thoughts on how the community was brought into the research project and how the researchers themselves handled everything with such dignity. I feel that by allowing everyone to have his or her input the project itself had such meaning to our history. I am glad that the plot of land was dedicated at the very end and became a National Historic Landmark.…
