Keeping Watch


Mount Olivet Cemetery is located off of Interstate 70 in historic Frederick, Maryland. It was established in 1852 as a final resting placed for the residents of Frederick. As the Civil War began to swirl around Frederick, it became evident that a place was needed to bury those that were killed or died from wounds received in battle or died from disease. In the back of Mt Olivet, a small section was set aside for this purpose. There are 280 known and at least 408 unknown Confederate soldiers buried here from the battles of South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Monocacy and numerous smaller engagements and the local hospitals.
