Glen Echo Park
Combine a visit to Clara Barton's house with a trip to this cultural arts park -- it's just across a parking lot. First a Chautauqua meeting ground, its emphasis on culture continues today. Call ahead or go to the website for a schedule of ballroom dancing, puppet shows, and plays. You can stop here to picnic or to ride on the 1921 hand-carved Dentzel carousel for $1.25.
