Henry Fallon, a 10-year-old from New Jersey, accomplished a special goal with his visit to the Nixon Library this week. He came to see the gravesite of President Nixon, his 39th presidential gravesite and final visit to complete the goal he started with his father three years ago.
Henry’s father, T.J. Fallon, started visiting the gravesites of presidents and other historical figures when he was furloughed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was Henry that gave his father the idea to start a YouTube channel. T.J. set a record visiting every presidential gravesite in the shortest amount of time and Henry decided he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. The father-son duo now have tens of thousands of followers on social media who learn about American History through their travels.
In the current divided political climate, T.J. and Henry want to share a positive story that can unify Americans and teach how it’s possible to come from the humblest of beginnings to become president.
