Frost Graves
This monument, erected in 1877, marks the graves of Meshach Frost (1787–1864) and his wife Catherine (1792–1876), founders of Frostburg. In 1812 they built their first home here. As the tavern Highland Hall, the building later accommodated in a day as many as 300 guests and 40 stagecoaches traveling the National Road. In 1846 Frost, a successful farmer, coal operator, and land speculator, built a spacious home, the Frost Mansion on Frost Avenue.
Here on this historic site now stand St. Michael’s Rectory (1871), church (1868), school (1891), and convent (1906).
Marker is on East Main Street (Alternate U.S. 40) east of Broadway.
