Memorial Day is one week away; there’s no better time to visit Mount Olivet.
Few places in Frederick invite reflection quite like Mount Olivet Cemetery - and that’s exactly what it was designed for. When it was founded in 1854, Mount Olivet was conceived as a “rural cemetery,” a park-like sanctuary where the grieving could find solace amid rolling green lawns, shade trees, and peaceful surroundings. In the mid-19th century, cemeteries like this weren’t just for funerals. Families came for Sunday walks, children played, and people picnicked. It was a different relationship with death and remembrance than we have today.
Then the Civil War came to Frederick’s doorstep.
As the city’s wartime hospitals overflowed and the Battle of Monocacy raged just south of town, thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers were laid to rest here. The Union dead were later moved to Antietam National Cemetery in Sharpsburg. The Confederate soldiers remain.
Today, nearly 40,000 souls call Mount Olivet home — among them Thomas Johnson, Maryland’s first governor. Francis Scott Key, who gave us the words to our national anthem. Barbara Fritchie, immortalized in John Greenleaf Whittier’s famous Civil War poem. And fashion pioneer Claire McCardell, who changed the way American women dress.
But the famous names are just the beginning. Mount Olivet is the final resting place of the farmers, mechanics, educators, inventors, and everyday Fredericktonians who built this community across 280+ years of history. Eight miles of paved roads wind through the grounds — welcoming walkers, runners, cyclists, genealogists, photographers, and anyone who wants to spend a few quiet minutes with the past.

This year America turns 250. Frederick’s German roots go back even further.
Schifferstadt Architectural Museum on Rosemont Avenue in Frederick is Frederick County’s oldest house open to the public — and a National Historic Landmark.
Built in 1758 by German immigrant Elias Brunner, whose family made the journey from the Palatinate region of Germany to the Monocacy Valley in the 1730s, this extraordinary stone house is one of the best examples of how German settlers kept their heritage alive on the American frontier.
Walk through two-foot-thick stone walls. See the only colonial radiant heating system still in its original location in the country. Explore a barrel-vaulted cellar, four bedrooms, and an award-winning Heritage Garden out back.
This is the perfect year to dig deeper into the story of our nation’s origins and the immigrants who built the communities we know today.
Open weekends 2–5 p.m. | Tours by appointment

The ground beneath Sky Stage once helped arm the American Revolution.
In December 1775, Maryland delegates chose this very corner in Fredericktown to build a gun-lock factory for the Revolutionary War. John Hanson, James Johnson, and Charles Beatty were appointed to lead it - and some say this industrial hill earned the name "Cannon Hill" because of it.
By 1860, a stone warehouse stood in its place. It served the community for 150 years before a fire destroyed the building in 2010.
From those ruins Sky Stage was born - an open-air arts venue unlike anything else in Maryland.
