Hains Point, Washington DC
In 1920, Girl Scouts obtained permission to operate a "tea house" at Hains Point in Potomac Park,Washington D.C.
Traveling by car was still a new adventure and the tea house was a pleasant destination, offering refreshments and restrooms for tourists.
The Girl Scout Tea House was visited by two Presidents; Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
