- Winchester Hall - Winchester Hall / Frederick Female Seminary / Women’s College of Frederick. At this stop, we first provide an overview of Frederick from its founding in 1745 to the Civil War to the present day in order to provide context for all of the stops. See a 180 year old girls school that went through several closures, but still exists today as an important part of our heritage.
- English-speaking guide
My name is Don Burgess, a resident of Frederick who is captivated by heritage tourism and historical preservation, tools that I believe are crucial in maintaining and establishing a city’s unique character.
I’ve been fascinated with the history of this region for many years, so operating as Frederick Tour on Facebook allows me to blend my love for the past with my adeptness in present advancements. As a part-time professional photographer, I’ve taken photographs of Frederick, Harpers Ferry, and other areas that were displayed and purchased.
