SITES AND MUSEUMS

Greenbelt Museum

Greenbelt, Maryland, a National Historic Landmark, is a utopian planned community built in 1937 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal administration. Greenbelt was designed as a cooperative garden suburb that would be a model of modern town planning in America.

The Greenbelt Museum provides a gateway to Greenbelt's rich history and living legacy through tours of a historic home, award-winning exhibits, public lectures, educational programs for children, and walking tours of the historic town.

Greenbelt's innovative design includes walking paths that connect the homes to numerous parks and playgrounds and to the town center.

The museum includes an original historic home displaying furniture designed especially for Greenbelt by New Deal artists. It is furnished with artifacts from the everyday life of the Great Depression and World War II.

Greenbelt's Art Deco-style Community Center is adorned with New Deal limestone sculptures. The Greenbelt Museum presents attractive, thought-provoking exhibits of Greenbelt's history and art.

Self-Guided Walking Tour Maps are available at all city offices and buildings.
