Hiram Walker’s Grave

He was a Detroiter whose most famous product wasn’t allowed to be made in Detroit. Hiram Walker founded his distillery across the river in Ontario — the town of Walkerville grew up around it — and there produced Canadian Club, one of the most famous whiskies in the world. He lived and prospered in Detroit even as his barrels aged on the far bank.

He rests at Elmwood, on the American side at last. On our list.
