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.

See more details about tour in itinerary below and at fredericktour.org

We can give tours year round. If it is raining/snowing (light) and you still want to take the tour, we can do that. If it is raining/snowing (hard), we can do a virtual "tour" indoors (groups of 8 or less).

Upon request, we can offer theme tours such as churches, architecture, or Civil War, or even photo shoots.

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.

Growing 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:)

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.
Standing, not walking tour

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.
