Clara Barton dedicated her life and energies to help others in times of need - both home and abroad, in peacetime as well as during military emergencies. Glen Echo was her home the last 15 years of her life and the structure illustrates her dedication and concern for those less fortunate than herself. Virtual Presentations about Clara Barton are offered free to groups of 10 or more.

The site is located 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Washington, D.C., in Glen Echo, Maryland.
