The village of Glen Echo, in
the suburbs of Washington
D.C., has quite an interesting history (see:
www.glenecho.org/history.html).
It is insulated form heavy traffic during non-rush hours, and is
easily accessed via the Clara Barton Parkway. You will enjoy the
eclectic mix of homes. Be sure to take a tour of
the Clara Barton home and former Red Cross Headquarters. The site of
the former amusement park is also interesting. The merry-go-round
has been restored and is operated for kids on a very limited schedule. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
