Berwyn Heights is a village juxtaposed with an American metropolis, as it lies barely 10 miles from the heart of Washington, D.C. It has changed much since its beginnings in 1888, yet it retains its small-town advantages, illustrating that, though a place may change, its essence remains.

Author Ann Harris Davidson has lived in six countries on four continents. Since settling in Berwyn Heights in 1989, she has undertaken projects to enrich and preserve her town s quality of life.
