Home

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

The Greenbelt Museum allows visitors to experience Greenbelt’s beauty and rich history through tours of an historic home, award-winning exhibits, public lectures, educational programs for children, and walking tours of the historic town.

Visit the Greenbelt Museum! The museum’s historic home is open every Sunday from 1-5pm for guided tours. Experience what life was like for a family of moderate income during the Great Depression. See how FDR’s New Deal administration created a utopian cooperative community that still thrives. Small admission fee.
