Harry Houdini's Grave

Queens, NY

Escape artist Harry Houdini is buried beneath a distinctive monument in Machpelah Cemetery, where magicians and fans have gathered for decades around the anniversary of his Halloween 1926 death. The grave can be visited during cemetery hours, but this is an active burial ground and should be treated respectfully.
