Description
Photograph of the Glen taken later than 1938 after completion of a project funded and carried out by the Works Progress Administration. The land for the Glen is along what was the south edge of the original 88-acre plot of farmland that was purchased and would become the new location of the Maryland State Normal School in 1915. In October 1935 a proposal submitted by Lida Lee Tall and Stella Brown was approved for funding by the Works Progress Administration. At that time Lida Lee Tall was principal of the Normal School and Stella Brown was principal of the Normal School's Model Elementary School. The project to complete the Glen's development from a stream and flood plain into a preserve for wildflowers, trees, and a bird sanctuary was begun in March 1936 and opened to the public in May 1939.
