Happy Birthday to the American Red Cross


We've been saying we're 126 since we started this blog last month, but we were jumping the gun a little bit. It was actually May 21, 1881 when Clara Barton and her associates established the American Red Cross.

Today is a good time to point you to the Red Cross online museum, an excellent resource for all things Red Cross history, including a timeline of important dates.

Of course, if you're in Washington, DC, we also offer tours of the original national headquarters building located at 430 17th Street. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Tours last approximately one hour and include a brief history of the Red Cross and a look at the building's architecture, artwork and artifacts. For more information about the tour program or to make a reservation online please visit RedCross.org.

Also, thanks to the following blogs for remembering us today:
