HandsOn DC History: C. Barton

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Clara Barton was one of the most significant Americans of the 19th century. Her home and headquarters of the American Red Cross, which she founded, are managed by the National Park Service in the DC Region. Students will partner with the NPS to learn about Barton, the 19th c. US, and public history while also learning how to do hands-on original research. Student work may contribute to the Barton site as interpretive materials, exhibits, displays, or talks delivered to the public.
