SUMMARY:Cemetery Speaker Series: Tobias Lear\, with Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky
DESCRIPTION:Tobias Lear\, circa the 1780s. Courtesy of New England Historical Society \nSign up here!\nIn his capacities as general\, president\, enslaver\, and farmer\, George Washington received support from many individuals who — compared to the nation’s first chief executive — are less remembered. One such person is Tobias Lear\, who in 1784 was recommended by General Benjamin Lincoln to serve as Washington’s executive secretary. Over the next 15 years\, Lear worked for Washington as an indispensable employee and became\, literally\, part of the Washington family. His relationship with Washington ended only with the general’s death in 1799\, which Lear witnessed and recorded in detail. Lear’s own demise in 1816 was followed by his burial in Historic Congressional Cemetery. \nFor this entry of the 2025 Speaker Series\, HCC is thrilled to welcome one of the country’s most sought-out presidential historians\, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky\, to discuss Lear’s life and connection to George Washington. Dr. Chervinsky currently serves as the Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library. She is the author of the award-winning books\, The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution and Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic\, and co-editor of Mourning the Presidents: Loss and Legacy in American Culture. She regularly writes for public audiences in the Wall Street Journal\, The Bulwark\, Time Magazine\, USA Today\, CNN\, and the Washington Post. \nFollowing Dr. Chervinsky’s presentation\, come along on a docent-led tour to the grave of Tobias Lear\, as well as the final resting places of more of Washington’s contemporaries and other figures from the nation’s founding era. \nTickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefit our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot today! Keynote remarks will take place inside the Chapel\, and the walking tour will take place on the grounds. The tour is approximately 45 minutes in length. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nSign up here!

SUMMARY:Disinterments\, Exhumations\, and Grave Robbing Tour
DESCRIPTION:Purchase your tickets here!\nDisinterment. Exhumation. Grave robbing. The words themselves seemingly resonate in our collective consciousness\, conjuring images of the silhouettes of misbegotten characters toting shovels\, sneaking into a cemetery on a dark night\, intent on their grisly work. While this cliche vignette might seem amusing\, is it true? Or does it obscure an equally macabre but far more true reality? What happens when someone’s remains are raised from the grave? How was it done in the past? And is grave robbing really dead? \nPlease join one of our expert docents for a thematic walking tour related to the Congressional Cemetery’s history with all types of exhumations\, including the theft of the skull of one of the nation’s longest-serving cabinet members\, the relocation of a vice president’s body\, the mass exhumation of Chinese migrants\, and more. \nTickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe event is rain or shine and you may meet the docent near our front gate. \nPurchase your tickets here!

SUMMARY:Death Cafe at Congressional Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to join us at one of our monthly Death Cafes at Historic Congressional Cemetery. \nAs an active burial ground\, Historic Congressional Cemetery is well acquainted with death\, but just what is a Death Cafe? \nDeath Cafe is a global movement to encourage discussion about the often-taboo subject of death. These are intimate informal gatherings where we discuss death while eating cake and drinking tea to remind us of comfort and sweetness even in difficult times. There is no agenda other than providing a space for an open-ended conversation. \nPlease join us to explore these topics in the spirit of curiosity and wonder. Please keep in mind these gatherings are not meant to offer or replace grief counseling. In the interest of privacy and being present\, we ask that these conversations remain in the room and there be no recording\, note-taking\, or personal details shared afterward. \nFollow this link for more about Death Cafe history and concept. \nAt Congressional Cemetery\, our Death Cafes are facilitated by a rotating slate of volunteers in the region\, each bringing their own unique energy and way to make space for the conversation. Our Death Doula in Residence\, Laura Lyster-Mensh\, represents the cemetery  for these evenings. \nCongressional Cemetery offers these unique conversations free of charge\, and offers tea and sweets in the tradition of death cafes around the world. We do ask that you consider bringing a food or beverage item to share\, or a suggested $5 donation\, to help cover event costs. \nDue to space limitations and to allow us to offer an intimate conversation\, please reserve a chair for the dates you will be joining us. To be on the waitlist for any unavailable dates\, use the form or please email Laura at deathdoula@congressionalcemetery.org \nRESERVE A SEAT AT AN UPCOMING DEATH CAFE HERE\n2025 Facilitators: \n2/6/25   Lisa Malear \n3/6/25   Laura Lyster-Mensh \n4/3/25   Dixie Marroquin \n5/1/25   Caitlin Cronin \n6/5/25   Patricia Dubroof \n7/3/25   Diane Ullius \n8/7/25  Veronica Mosqueda \n9/4/25   AJ Orlikoff \n10/2/25   Kurt Deion \n11/6/25   Sam Stebbins \n12/4/25   Sarah Miller

SUMMARY:Soul Strolls: Grave Robbing and Resurrection
DESCRIPTION:  \nSECOND WAVE TICKETS AVAILABLE OCTOBER 10th at 5:00 PM\nWashington\, D.C. is a city of light and shadow. Beneath the shining edifices of marble that dot the landscape lies the story of dark deeds from decades past. Grave robbing\, body snatching\, and resurrection plagued the nation’s capital over a hundred years ago. The dead were not safe—and the living were complicit. \nThis macabre drama played out in the burial grounds of America: an unsettling collision of scientific inquiry\, unsuspecting victims\, and blasphemous desecration. \nThis fall\, we invite you to experience another dark chapter of our common history—a chilling glimpse into D.C.’s past. Discover the stories of our interred residents\, victims and perpetrators alike\, brought to life by our talented actors. Encounter them and uncover their long-buried secrets. Reckon with their legacies and learn about the American past. Join us for Soul Strolls 2025: Grave Robbing and Resurrection. \nOur annual twilight tours explore the stories of individuals buried here through a guided lantern lit tour of the grounds with costumed interpreters. Experience the history of this hallowed ground exactly the way it should be experienced in October – in twilight and darkness\, immersed in vignettes of the lives of our interred residents. \nDetails: \nSoul Strolls take place over 6 nights\, October 17-18\, October 24-25\, and October 31-November 1. Hour-long tours depart every 15 minutes between 6:00 and 9:30 pm on Fridays (Oct 17\, Oct 24\, Oct 31) and between 5:00 PM- 9:30 PM on Saturdays (Oct 18\, Oct 25\, Nov 1). Gates open a half hour prior to the first tour start time. We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes prior to your tour start time.

Costumes are encouraged and welcomed from attendees! \nVIP Tours: \nWe offer exclusive VIP tours as a part of Soul Strolls! On Fridays\, the 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM are exclusively VIP.
