SUMMARY:Mount Olivet Cemetery Civil War Tour
DESCRIPTION: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. They 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. \nNote: This tour can be taken ala carte or is already bundled as a special FREE bonus to go with the 3-week Frederick in the Civil War ONLINE course being taught via Zoom (Aug.27-Sept. 10-See Course offering)​2+hour Walking Tour $20. Meet at the Key Chapel\, 100 yards behind the Francis Scott Key Monument (near front gate).
