"Candlelight History Tour of Mount Olivet Cemetery"
​(presented by Maryland Heritage Tours)
Discover Frederick’s past while navigating by lantern and the light of the moon. This special seasonal experience takes participants on a leisurely tour through a labyrinth of graves, crypts and monuments in historic Mount Olivet Cemetery. Costumed guides lead participants on a .09 mile journey through Mount Olivet’s hallowed grounds to pay respect to some of the cemetery's most famous and noteworthy figures.
A portion of the proceeds will go to the newly-launched Mount Olivet Cemetery Preservation and Enhancement Fund (for historic monument repair and restoration).

Only 4 tours scheduled for 2018 fall season, book early as these could sell out!
