February Lecture to Explore Congressional Cemetery

For our next Overbeck History Lecture, on Tuesday, February 7, Cindy Hays will deliver an illustrated talk on the history of Congressional Cemetery. The 30-acre site which is owned by Christ Church has served this community for more than two centuries.

Hays is executive director of the Association for the Preservation of The Historic Congressional Cemetery, the local citizens organization that has brought the storied resting place back from decades of decline and neglect and made it a source of pride for the neighborhood.

An email notification will be sent in late January soliciting reservations for this free event. To get on the email list, contact OverbeckLecture@CapitolHillHistory.org.
