On Tuesday, February 7, Cindy Hays will deliver an illustrated Overbeck History Lecture on Congressional Cemetery, its significance to the Capitol Hill community, and its impressive, ongoing restoration by concerned neighbors and friends. The 30-acre site, which contains the remains of Matthew Brady, John Philip Sousa, J. Edgar Hoover and many other historical figures, has served the Hill for more than two centuries.
Hays is executive director of the Association for the Preservation of The Historic Congressional Cemetery, the local citizens organization that has brought the storied resting place back from decades of decline and neglect and made it a source of pride for the neighborhood.
The lecture is set for Tuesday, February 7, at 8:00 p.m. at the Naval Lodge Hall at 330 Pennsylvania Avenue S.E. As always, admission is free but a reservation is required due to limited seating.
