This small museum is a great place to learn about Clara Barton, a truly amazing and accomplished American. The guided tour of the upstairs rooms is excellent.

CLARISSA BARTON IS THE BEST

This little museum is a hidden, valuable gem among the other blockbuster museums in DC. The story of its rediscovery some 150 years, after its location was lost, is worth the visit. This preserved "rooming house" where Ms. Barton lived and worked is a great look into everyday life in post-Civil War Washington. The video presentation is free, and the upstairs tour of the old Missing Soldiers Office is worth every penny of the entrance fee. It is near the National Portrait Gallery (once the U.S. patent Office where Clara worked) and the National Building Museum, and together they make a great trio for an unusual and off-the-beaten-path morning or afternoon in DC.

Such a wonderful little museum within walking distance of the portrait gallery. I am so glad I went. The talk was insightful and interesting. I am a huge Clara Barton fan so this was an exciting piece of history to me. I have also started reading "Hospital Sketches" by Alcott because of an recommendation by the docent.
