This bundle series of 4 different (1.3 mile) walking tours of historic Mount Olivet Cemetery features stops at the final resting spots of outstanding and interesting Frederick citizens. Four distinct themed tours: Frederick in the 1700s/1800s; Frederick in the 1900s-Present; Frederick Black History; and Frederick in the Civil War. These courses can also be taken ala-carte as well, see individual listings for the tour of your interest ($20/each). Participants will also learn the story of how this historic "garden cemetery" came to be in 1854, and its role up to present. Length: 2 hours and this collection of 4 different tours will meet Saturday mornings from 9-11:00am on either the first or second Saturday from April 11 - July 11th. Apr 11 (Civil War), May 2 (Frederick 1700s-1800s), June 6 (Black History), July 11(Frederick 1900s-Present). 

(We will meet at the WWI Gazebo in the middle of Areas T, U & S. Park on the lanes radiating out from the gazebo. Turn left after entering Mount Olivet's fromt gate and parallel Stadium Drive as the white Gazebo will eventually appear to your right under the US Flag)

This insightful walking tour features former residents who participated in, or experienced first-hand, the American Civil War. Mount Olivet was opened less than a decade before the conflict and possessed a contract with the federal government to bury here the dead of both armies who died in Frederick's "one vast hospital." Many local veterans survived the horrors of war and came back to Frederick to continue their lives in peaceful times. Many would be laid to rest here in family lots. Civilians like Barbara Fritchie, Rev. Daniel Zacharias and Glenn Worthington played unique roles in Civil War lore and they, too, repose here.

Length 2 hours. Meet at the Key Chapel (100 yards behind the Francis Scott Key Monument).

(Note: Walk-ups welcome without prior registration).
