It’s Abe Lincoln like you’ve never seen him. See what we uncovered about the animatronic Abe Lincoln at Walt Disney World. Plus, we’ve got a nerd’s eye view of the famous Hall of Presidents.

Princeton Cemetery was once called the “Westminster Abbey of the United States” due to the number of prominent persons buried there. From an American president to a participant in one of the world’s most famous duels, see what we discovered on these hallowed grounds.

If you’re a history buff, at some point you’re probably going to be tromping through an old cemetery. On a recent tour with the Baltimore Heritage Foundation, I finally had the opportunity to explore Old St. Paul’s cemetery. I wouldn’t say I was dying to get in there, but I have always wanted to see inside.

As you might imagine, we come across quite a few ghost stories on our Nerd Trips, but this is a story of my own “ghostly” encounter at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas.

A Texas landmark with connections to the Old West and President Lyndon Johnson, come along on our Nerd Trip to the Driskill Hotel, which is also said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the United States.

It’s the event where hundreds of people sit in the broiling Texas heat to watch a high stakes verbal sparring match of puns, words and wits. That’s right, we went to the O. Henry Pun-Off World Championship in Austin, Texas!

Now to Part 2 of my encounter with Chris Matthews and his book “Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.”

Despite early word that the MSNBC host would not sign books, at the end of his talk, Matthews said he would stay to autograph copies for anyone who wanted them.
