ILR846 Frederick’s Other City,
Mount Olivet CemeteryWalking Tour
3 sessions, 4.5 hours
Mount Olivet Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and
distinguished burying grounds in Maryland, if not the Mid-
Atlantic. It was incorporated in 1852, as part of the rural/
garden cemetery movement. This genre employed a new design
which took the cemetery out of the control of the church,
and created an attractive park built on a grander scale. Other
characteristics include using architectural design and careful
planting, all inspired by the English garden movement of the
early 19th century. Cemeteries of this period were enhanced by
the Victorian style of sculpture and monuments which followed
in the second half of the century. In addition, Mount Olivet is a
virtual “mirror of Frederick history” including former politicians
and business people, patriots from every war period, and state/
national luminaries such as Francis Scott Key, Thomas Johnson,
Jr. and Barbara Fritchie. Chris Haugh will present a 3-week,
“on-location” offering on the history of this “museum without
walls.” Guided tours of the grounds, monuments and structures
on foot will be the central focus, as Chris plans to weave some
PowerPoint and on-site illustrations into his lessons. Note: Wear
comfortable shoes as this class requires moderate walking.
Instructor: Chris Haugh is an Emmy award-winning
documentary film maker and regional historian. For nearly 25
years, Chris has researched, produced and published numerous

has also taught both video production and public history courses
