'Where Baltimore’s Best Were Laid to Rest' at Pascal Senior Activity Center

Baltimore historian and educator Wayne R. Schaumburg will give a slide show and lecture, "Where Baltimore’s Best Were Laid to Rest," on Oct. 20 at 12:30 p.m. The program will focus on Green Mount Cemetery, opened in 1839. It is one of the earliest examples of an urban-rural (or garden) cemetery, a cemetery with a park-like setting located on the edge of the city. It became the final resting place of Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Betsy Patterson, John Wilkes Booth and many other famous Marylanders. The program is free and open to the public.
