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.
Heritage Frederick
Loats Female Orphan Asylum / Protestant Episcopal Orphan Home. This is a short stop about two orphanages operated for 75-100 years by the Lutheran and Episcopal churches. Although long gone, their legacies live on with foundations providing college scholarships for needy youth.

5.00Growing up in Baltimore and having spent time in Frederick over the years, never occurred to me to go on a tour but my mom, sister, cousin and I went on Don’s tour today and had the best time. We learned so much and it was delivered in a really memorable way. Don has such a fun personality, he made us laugh but also clearly has a lot of love for Frederick which comes out in his stories and made us appreciate the experience even more. The time flew by and we were all very glad we did it:)

4.00It 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!

4.00We 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.
Standing, not walking tour

1.00This 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.

5.00We 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!
