SUMMARY:Cinematery: National Treasure
DESCRIPTION:Postponed to July 24.\nDue to the unhealthy air-quality conditions caused by Canadian wildfire smoke\, tonight’s Cinematery screening has been postponed to our scheduled rain date of Friday\, July 24. Ticket holders should look out for an email containing more information.\n__________________________________________ \nAre you ready for adventure at Congressional Cemetery? While we may not have any hidden masonic treasure in the cemetery (or so you think)\, we hope you’ll still join us for a Cinematery screening of National Treasure\, happening Friday\, July 17th! Bring your family\, friends\, and partners in crime for this history filled adventure! \nThe rain date will be July 24th. \nFeel free to bring your own beverages and food. Alcohol is permitted and will also be for sale. Keep in mind that all guests will be ID checked upon entry. We also recommend bringing your own blankets\, low lying lawn chairs\, etc. Please do NOT bring chairs that may obstruct the view of those behind you. Dogs are not permitted at Cinematery. \nTickets on sale May 29th\nGates open about an hour before sunset and the movie begins at sunset. The doors open at 7:30 pm. \nWhy the ticket price has changed from last year? This price reflects new Licensing agreements which require a larger revenue split with production companies when showing their movies. This means we have to update the pricing for Cinematery to maintain our goal of raising funds for the cemetery while engaging the community. We have also upgraded our screen to ensure everyone can better see the film! \n——————————————————— \nWant more Cinematery? Don’t forget to check out Cinematery: Jurassic Park! Happening September 11th! \n———————————————————- \nA special thank you to our Cinematery sponsor\, Fulcrum Residential\, for popping the popcorn!\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Battle of Bladensburg Wreath Laying Ceremony with the District of Columbia National Guard
DESCRIPTION:As the nation commemorates America 250\, Historic Congressional Cemetery and the District of Columbia National Guard invite the public to reflect not only on the ideals declared in 1776\, but also on the generations of Americans who were later called upon to defend the young republic. \nOn August 23\, please join Historic Congressional Cemetery in collaboration with the District of Columbia National Guard for a Battle of Bladensburg commemoration beginning at 10:00 a.m. The ceremony will honor the dozens of D.C. Militia members buried at Congressional Cemetery who fought in the battle \nThis year marks the 212th anniversary of the Battle of Bladensburg\, fought during the War of 1812. The battle was the first in a series of major engagements between American and British forces during the Chesapeake Campaign of 1814. It resulted in a decisive British victory and an embarrassing defeat for the United States\, clearing the way for British troops to enter Washington and burn several of the nation’s most important public buildings. \nAlthough the retreat derisively remembered as the “Bladensburg Races” remains an infamous moment in American military history\, it was also a defeat from which the United States quickly learned. Only several weeks later\, American forces successfully defended Baltimore and repelled the British advance at Fort McHenry. \n \nThe Battle of Bladensburg remains embedded in the history and identity of the District of Columbia National Guard. Citizen-soldiers serving in the 1st and 2nd District of Columbia Militia Regiments helped defend the capital. They were artisans\, shopkeepers\, printers\, teamsters\, dock workers\, lawyers\, clerks\, teachers\, and doctors who served before\, during\, and after the events of August 24\, 1814. Dozens of these individuals are interred at Historic Congressional Cemetery. \nThe program will feature remarks from Congressional Cemetery and the DC National Guard\, followed by a wreath laying at the grave of Private Andrew Coyle. \nFollowing the ceremony\, attendees are invited to participate in a guided tour highlighting veterans of the Battle of Bladensburg and the War of 1812 who are buried at Congressional Cemetery. Participants will also help place commemorative flags at their gravesites. \nRSVP\nThe ceremony is free to attend\, but we ask that guests please RSVP here. \nThe event will take place rain or shine. Smoking is prohibited\, and dogs may not attend unless they are service animals. \nWe highly recommend dressing for the weather and wearing appropriate footwear because of the cemetery’s uneven ground. \nGetting Here\nWe strongly encourage visitors to use public transportation. The closest Metro station is Stadium-Armory\, served by the Orange\, Blue\, and Silver lines.

SUMMARY:Cinematery: Jurassic Park
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for adventure at Congressional Cemetery? While we may not have any dinosaurs roaming around\, we hope you’ll still join us for the Cinematery viewing of Jurassic Park\, happening Friday\, September 11th! Bring your family\, friends\, and local paleontologist for special movie event. \nFeel free to bring your own beverages and food. Alcohol is permitted and will also be for sale. Keep in mind that all guests will be ID checked upon entry. We also recommend bringing your own blankets\, low lying lawn chairs\, etc. Please do NOT bring chairs that may obstruct the view of those behind you.\n\nRain date will be September 12th\n\n\nGates open about an hour before sunset and the movie begins at sunset. The doors open at 7:30 pm.\n\nGet tickets here!\nWhy the ticket price has changed from last year? This price reflects new Licensing agreements which require a larger revenue split with production companies when showing their movies. This means we have to update the pricing for Cinematery to maintain our goal of raising funds for the cemetery while engaging the community. We have also upgraded our screen to ensure everyone can better see the film! \nA special thank you to our Cinematery sponsor\, Fulcrum Residential\, for popping the popcorn! \n
