Greenbelt Museum

Resettlement Administration Booklet, 1936

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.

PLEASE NOTE the Museum’s historic house, 10B Crescent Road, will be open by appointment only from December 27, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Please call 301-507-6582 or email museum@greenbeltmd.gov to schedule a tour. The house will reopen for Sunday tours from 1-5pm beginning February 7, 2010.
