About the Clara Barton National Historic Site
The Clara Barton National Historic Site, located at 5801 Oxford Road in Glen Echo, Maryland, is a museum and tourist attraction dedicated to the life and work of Clara Barton. Barton devoted her life to helping others in times of need, both at home and abroad, during peacetime and military emergencies. The site, which was Barton's home for the last 15 years of her life, showcases her dedication to those less fortunate. Join the National Park Service in celebrating the 200th birthday of Clara Barton with a free performance of "Clara Barton, Red Cross Angel" by Mary Ann Jung on March 2, 2024, at 3:00 pm at the George Washington Memorial Parkway Headquarters in McLean, VA.

Reviews of Clara Barton National Historic Site
"This house is about Clara Barton history. It is slated to get much needed repairs in 2024 so only the first floor is available but the amazing story given by the Parks department is worth the trip. Tours begin at 1 PM but be sure to check their website for the days they are closed. Glen Echo park is next door and a great place for local art and kid's activities"
"The home was closed when we were there. The exterior needs work. A significant American. Worth the trip as it is close the Glen Echo. Plenty of parking."
"As a member of the American Red Cross, this was a special visit. The tour was worth the time and informative about Clara's life. The walk around the property helps to understand the area at the time of Clara's life."
"Another home run by the National Park Service. This locale shares parking with Glen Echo - so there is a great deal. This is Barton’s house that she had built to her specifications - it’s built as a place that could respond to disaster relief. Way more closets than any human being would ever want or desire, natural light in a hall way with multiple apts in that hallway. Here you learn of a story of a beautiful heart who was thrust into the limelight because she was a doer, not just a talker. Her work with the Red Cross, something she brought here along with the Geneva Convention, the field hospitals, civil rights, and the missing soldiers bureau - these all happened because of her! And she did it all without ever having the fundamental right to vote!!! This place is operated with a skeleton crew, and it’s by guided tour only. Attaching a photo of your tour times - make sure to check the website before you come out, as they are doing major renovations right now."
"I am a fan of the National Park Service. Unfortunately, there are tours available to see the house but not today. Please check the times before you go"
