Description

The Frederick County Landmarks Foundation is an organization that seeks to actively pursue the preservation of historic sites; structures, natural landmarks, and communities of Frederick County, Maryland and to increase the knowledge and appreciation of all of the above.

To this end, we have helped restore and preserve sites such as Schifferstadt, and the Beatty-Cramer house.

At these sites, Landmarks heads different events; Oktoberfest and Bell and History Days at Schifferstadt, Living History Days at Beatty-Cramer. These events both involve the community and make them aware of the importance of historic sites and buildings under Landmarks' care.

History

The Frederick County Landmarks Foundation was started in 1975 by a group of women called the Founding Mothers who wanted to bring new life to an ailing Frederick and help restore run-down historic sites. With a lot of hard work and many years, their work continues on.

Year Founded: 1972
