Such a cool site. I want to come back and tour the house but the grounds are fantastic.
Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross , lived here and this building was their first headquarters. In 1974 this place was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
This is one of the sites sketched for the Days of Yore : Montgomery County note card project - daysofyoresketches.blogspot.com
Visit the home of the founder of the American Red Cross during the last 15 years of her life!
Carousel is cool but rings are just for show
