Westminster Burying Ground & Catacombs

Built in 1852 on brick piers directly over an existing 18th-century graveyard, this historic church features eerie, low-ceilinged catacombs where you can walk among the tombs of early Baltimoreans.

The move: Book a Saturday morning tour to explore the dusty, brick-arched catacombs beneath the floorboards, then pay your respects at Edgar Allan Poe’s nearby monument.

Where: 519 W Fayette St, Baltimore, MD 21201
