Downtown Frederick Historic District · Historic Mount Olivet Cemetery, Frederick
Maryland Heritage Tours has led ghost-themed walking tours of Frederick's historic district for about 25 years under founder Ron Angleberger, marketing its offerings under the names Ghost Tours of Historic Frederick and Maryland Ghost Tours. The company runs an Historic District Ghost Tour departing from in front of Brewer's Alley Restaurant and Brewery at 124 N Market St, and a separate Cemetery History & Mystery Tour inside Historic Mount Olivet Cemetery, one of Maryland's largest cemeteries with more than 40,000 interments.
Ghost Tours of Historic Frederick is listed with the Frederick County tourism office (VisitFrederick.org) and holds an established Tripadvisor listing with visitor reviews. A 2024 Baltimore Banner article on Maryland's independent ghost-tour operators noted the company is aware of competition from the multi-city chain US Ghost Adventures, which separately operates a Frederick program branded Frederick Ghosts.
