Thank you to the History department for sharing this news:
Did you know GW has a burying ground? Prof. Phillip Troutman will lead a virtual field trip to GW's plot in Oak Hill Cemetery on Friday, Nov. 6, at 2:00 pm (late arrivals welcome). There will be a slide-show presentation and live Q&A from the graveyard. Register and get the zoom link.
Those interred include early donor John Withers (who figured into DC's Snow Riot of 1834), the “boy in the iron coffin" (re-discovered in 2003), and Cloyd Heck Marvin, GW president from 1927 to 1959, who grew the campus while defending racial exclusion.
