Mrs. Ghost, Ghost Baby, and I spent a nice Saturday afternoon celebrating a birthday at a lovely home in the Palisades. The two parents of the young birthday child (and GoDCers) have a great home with the former Glen Echo Electric Railway right-of-way in their back yard. We wanted to do a little digging to see if we could find old maps of the area. Above is what we dug up from 1909.
