Living Legacy of the New Deal

Greenbelt Museum

Visiting on Sundays

The Greenbelt Museum’s house is restored and furnished with objects from the period of 1936-1952.  The furniture on display was designed and built for Greenbelt homes by the New Deal’s Special Skills Division.  The home also includes objects associated with everyday life of a middle-class family during these years such as Fiesta, depression glass, kitchen utensils, children’s toys, clothes, and linens.  Tours of the house provide visitors with a view of home life for ordinary Americans of modest means during the Great Depression and World War II.

The museum house is open from 1-5pm for tours.
