A bit of background On February 27, 1997 the Assemblies of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC had a Vision to create a Regional Bahai Center. It would be erected in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area and would be a complex of buildings and gardens that would establish in the minds and hearts of visitors and the community of interest the supreme giT of love and unity that the communi;es of the Greatest Name is working to establish throughout the world. On April 10, 2002 the Bahais by the Grace and Bounty of Bahaullah received the Deed of Trust for 11111 Riverview Road, Fort Washington, Maryland, 43.6 acres of beau;ful land on the Potomac River.

Descrip4on - 43.6 acres of old-growth forest land situated on the Potomac River in Fort Washington, Maryland, just south of Washington, DC.
