I’m Don Burgess, a Frederick resident interested in sharing my passion for heritage tourism and historic preservation as they contribute to preserving and creating a city’s “Sense of Place.”

I’ve been a history buff of this region for years, and my role on Facebook as Frederick Tour enables me to combine my love of things old with my skills with things new. I’m a semi-professional photographer who has photographed, shown, and sold images of Frederick, Harpers Ferry, and other regions.

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.

It was just my husband and I on the tour, but we had a great time! Don was knowledgeable about the history of Frederick as well as what is happening currently. He was easy to listen to and we could ask whatever we wanted. It was a nice walk around town. Would recommend it!
We had a good time on this is an in-depth history tour of the town of Frederick.

We had a good time on this is an in-depth history tour of the town of Frederick. The host, Don Burgess, has extensive knowledge of the city and the role the town played in the civil war. He also has interesting stories about the old homes around the town. We were forewarned that there was not a lot of walking, more of a walk, show, and talk kind of tour, but very pleasant.

This should not be labeled a walking tour. We didn’t see whatever the first picture in the ad is and we only covered two streets and maybe 3-4 blocks on the streets. Guide was very knowledgeable but we were hoping to see more of Fredrick. We saw more on our walk to meet the guide.

Our multigenerational family had a wonderful time on this delightful and informational tour of Frederick. We were all impressed with our guide's vast treasure trove of facts and stories about Frederick. The grandchildren were especially grateful for the tip on a delicious candy store in the area. We highly recommend this educational and fun tour.

We had a 2 hour tour learning about Frederick. We learned not only history which was rich with details and stories that brought it to life, but of the churches, industry, and culture of Frederick. Don was so knowledgeable of the civil war and the impact it had on the area. Thank you for a great tour!
Don really knew his history

We had a great time on the walking tour with Don. He is definitely a history buff and enjoys sharing his knowledge of Frederick with others. He kept mentioning other patrons who complained in the past about how his "walking tour" was a "standing tour" and how they did not like that. I couldn't understand such a complaint. That's how walking tours are - you walk to a location, stand and listen to stories, then walk to the next place. It also was not a very long tour - only 2 hours. It made me sad to hear other people had complained, because we were having such a good time listening to all the history and admiring the architecture.
This is an in-depth tour...

This is an in-depth tour of the town of Frederick. The host has extensive knowledge of the city and the role the town played in the civil war. He also has interesting stories about the old homes around the town. We had a good time! The walk is slow-paced, so older walkers can keep up.
