Mount Olivet Cemetery

Mount Olivet Cemetery is located in Historic Frederick, Maryland and home to the gravesites of Francis Scott Key, Barbara Fritchie, Governor Thomas Johnson (the first governor of the state of Maryland), and many other notables. Known as "The Cemetery Beautiful," Mount Olivet was begun in 1852 as part of the rural, or "garden," cemetery movement. It is a privately-owned, not-for-profit cemetery and provides in-ground and mausoleum burials featuring crypts and niches. In addition to family and friends of loved ones interred here, we proudly welcome tourists, history enthusiasts, genealogists and reverent recreationalists.
