Operation Conservation with Jonathan Appell

Congressional Cemetery is a 35 acre historic burial ground located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Initially known as the Washington Parish Burial Ground, Congressional became the first truly national burial ground as Congress bought sites, buried noted civil servants, and funded the infrastructure.  Among the 65,000 burials at Congressional are scores of noteworthy citizens who left their mark on the city and the nation. Find out more about their amazing stories by exploring the Cemetery's web site atwww.congressionalcemetery.orgor joining a free Saturday tour April through October at 11:00 AM.  The Association for the Preservation of Historic Congressional Cemetery is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
