This insightful walking tour features former residents who participated in and 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 passed 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.
