SUMMARY:Mostly Mothers: The Eternal Maternal Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here!\n\n\nCongressional Cemetery is the final resting place of many mothers. Some were biological mothers\, like Lucy Bell\, who devoted her life to fighting for her family’s freedom from slavery. Sarah Reed was an expectant mother who died reportedly trying to save her stepchildren during an explosion on the steamship Wawaset. Some mothers are metaphorical\, like Barbara Gittings\, “Mother of the Gay Rights Movement\,” and Flora Adams Darling\, the founding mother of the National Society United States Daughters of 1812. \nThis Mother’s Day weekend\, we invite you on a stroll to learn about the history of mothers of all kinds\, through the lens of Congressional Cemetery. \n\n\n\nTickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. This is a non-refundable donation.\n\n\n\nPlease come prepared with comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. Tours are rain or shine. Visitors may meet docents at the front gate of the cemetery located at the corner of E St. and Potomac Ave.\n\nPurchase Tickets Here!
