Clara Barton Founder American Red Cross: An Invitation

Hello,

I would like to personally invite the Unitarian Universalist Churches in the Greater Washington Area to visit Clara Barton National Historic Site in Glen Echo, Maryland. Clara Barton was raised in the Universalist Church in Massachusetts and served as a model for humanitarian service and social justice throughout her life. Clara Barton National Historic Site preserves the house where Miss Barton lived and worked for the last 15 years of her life. It also served as the first permanent headquarters for the American Red Cross.

Tours of the house are free and begin on the hour between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM daily. We do ask that groups of ten or more make reservations to ensure adequate staffing of the house. Groups interested in reserving a tour can call 301-320-1410. For more information, please visit our website www.nps.gov/clba.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Thank you,

Beth Ruschau
