I was going to go to see Presidents Buchanan grave when I got into Lancaster, but because it was raining the whole day, I went ahead and did the tour of the house. They said during the tour back when he was a lawyer he was making around 8,000 a year. I believe they said he paid around 4,000 for his home. Most of the furniture and all to most of the window are original in the house.  They are not sure where President Buchanan died, they don't know if he died in his bed or in the head house keepers bed since she was the nurse also. It was a very nice house.
