Mount Olivet Cemetery

Amazing history, a little under cared for, but if you want to see history dating back to 1852, you should go here. It is truly a walk in history, more than a full days worth of walking to see all the pre 1930 head stones.

A great example of the old time garden style cemetery. Absolutely beautiful and just a prime example of a pristine picturesque property. Of course you can see the graves of Francis Scott Key, Barbara Fritchie and Thomas Johnson but there is also a throw back to the days before the constitution was the law of the land. The first president of the US under the articles of confederation is buried here and his wife, president and Mrs John Hanson. They have a sad story for sure and and very much worth a stop there to see them!

My grandmother was buried here and a headstone was paid for. It never went on her grave. We have now paid again 2 years ago and her headstone is still not on her grave. Everyone should know in their grief to keep records, or they will keep your money and not use it for your loved ones memory as they should.

What a historic cemetery. It starts with the burial place of Francis Scott Key many war veterans. The cemetery is very large and well marked. The grounds are immaculate. So everyone who visits needs to keep it that way. There is a large map at the entrance showing burial sites as well as a computer to find what or who you are looking for. There are also very clean restrooms and a small chapel. The property is privately owned and is a working cemetery, however, they make it welcome to all visitors. There is a cemetery office on site at the entrance in a Victorian home. This property, located in the city of Frederick is so quiet and peaceful. It is truly a historic gem of Frederick!
