Family Burying Ground at Pikesville Middle

What remains of a more than 200-year-old burying ground for the McAllister, Brooks, and Beam families is on the grounds of the Pikesville Middle School on Seven Mile Lane.

A local historian, Beryl Franks described five stones set in concrete, four with only dates and letters and the fifth with “words and phrases” in her column “History Hunting” for the Northwest Star in 1984. Photos posted in March 2025 on the HSBC Facebook page show that not much has changed since then. Dan visited and took the photos at the end of this article. He noted subsidence that could indicate graves; and saw additional field stone edges under the grass and what could be the top of a vault.
