Walking Tour of Brookmont: Saturday, October 10 at 10:00

WHAT: Take a walking tour of Brookmont. This neighborhood just north of
the District line along MacArthur Blvd is not as well known as its
neighbor Glen Echo but is equally rich in history. Begun as a housing
development in 1925, the area retains some of the 19th century homes
which pre-dated development as well as the modest homes built in the
early 20th century. Barbara Torrey and Clara Myrick Green, co-authors of
the recently published book Brookmont, will lead the tour of this hidden
gem.

WHEN:  Saturday, October 10 from 10:00-11:30

WHERE:  Meet at 4103 Maryland Avenue (Off MacArthur Blvd north of
Sangamore Rd.)

COST:  $6/$3 for MCHS members and Brookmont residents. Reservations
required.

For more information or to make reservations go to
