Historic Key Memorial Chapel
Mount Olivet Cemetery
Frederick, Maryland

Join historian Chris Haugh for an illustrated  lecture on pertinent, past Fredericktonians...now at rest in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Based on his weekly internet blog (photo-essay features) entitled "Stories in Stone," the award-winning documentarian/writer will introduce stories of the accomplished, tragic and ordinary.

Please feel free to bring a brown bag lunch of your choosing to enjoy during the presentation.  For those that are able, Chris will accompany participants to the gravesites of featured subjects within the cemetery. (This will occur after the lecture and as time and weather will dictate.)
