This 1.3 mile walking tour of historic Mount Olivet Cemetery features stops at the final resting spots of outstanding and interesting Frederick citizens of the 1700s and 1800s such as Francis Scott Key, Thomas Johnson and Barbara Fritchie among several others, and will have participants traversing the historic part of the cemetery where they will learn the story of how this "garden cemetery" came to be in 1854. Length: 2 hours. NOTE: Walk-ups welcome without prior registration.

(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)
