On October 1, 1879, Robert Walker and Margaret M., his wife, deeded the majority of the property now known as the Walker Chapel Historic Area to the Trustees of Walker Chapel. The Walker’s gravesites are in the back corner of the cemetery bordering Old Glebe Road. In 2025 the Historic Cemetery Project will create an arc of garden around the corner and their gravesites to be a quiet place for meditation and prayer. The picture provided here is but a prototype of ideas for the area and your participation is most welcome.
