People travel far and wide to visit historic Westminster Hall, the Burying Grounds and Catacombs.

Westminster contains one of Baltimore’s oldest cemeteries which contains tombs of prominent political, military and business leaders, four of the city’s earliest mayors, several generals from the American Revolution and War of 1812 and the grave of Edgar Allan Poe!  In 1852, the church was constructed on brick piers above the graves, creating remarkable catacombs. Architect Maximilian Godefroy designed the ornate gates and vaults for several wealthier church members.

This event has been organized by the Baltimore Architecture Foundation and the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law.Learn more about Doors Open Baltimore 2020.
