On March 6, 1857, the United States Supreme Court
issued The Dred Scott decision, written by Chief Justice
Roger Brooke Taney, a former Frederick resident who,
when he died in 1864, was buried in St. John's Roman
Catholic Cemetery between Third and Fourth Streets
near East Street in downtown Frederick. He was interred
next to his mother.

On March 6, 1898, Grace Reformed Church, the second
church of that faith in Frederick, was organized. The
church held services in Trinity Chapel and Kemp Hall for
its first five years.

On March 6, 1974, the craze of the 1970s on college
campuses reached Hood College when five coeds "streaked"
in the nude across the Rosemont Avenue campus. At
approximately the same time two men "streaked" through
Frederick Towne Mall on West Patrick Street.
