The History of National Park Seminary Featured in The Washington Post

The Washington Post published, "Answer Man visits the National Park Seminary in Forest Glen, Md.," by John Kelly earlier this week.  Kelly provides an interesting historical sketch of the property that became home to National Park Seminary for young women after1894 in Forest Glen, MD.  The seminary occupied the former Forest Inn Hotel that previously operated from 1887-1894.  The seminary name changed to National Park College in 1937 and it then closed in 1942 when the U.S. Army invoked the War Powers Act and condemned the property.

An earlier post on the College History Garden, "National Park Seminary (MD)," includes links to several fascinating web sites devoted to the history of the site.
