The Clara Barton Trail

Clara Barton lived in Glen Echo, Maryland, and dedicated her life to helping others. Fearless, selfless, and determined, she became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield" during the Civil War and founded the American Red Cross. Breaking away from traditional roles set for women, she stood on the front lines of change, overcame many obstacles, and refused to give up hope. At a time when women could not vote, own property, or have a bank account, she made a difference around the world.
