You might know that Edgar Allan Poe is buried in Baltimore, but do you know the story behind the burial ground of his final resting place? The Westminster Hall and Burying Ground is under the care of the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, and October is a popular time of year for the venue, featuring public tours of the historic hall, cemetery, and the catacombs.
Learn how you can visit and tour this landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Jessica Williams, associate director, Event Services and Westminster Preservation Trust, Inc., and Heather McKlveen, administrative assistant, take us inside and underneath Westminster Hall.
