Holiday Twilight Tours
This December, the Greenbelt Museum is offering two special walking tours to celebrate the holidays and to illuminate many seasonal Greenbelt traditions. We'll meet at the Museum's historic house, 10B Crescent Road, at dusk (5pm). Then we'll walk along the pedestrian pathways to see holiday decorations and twinkling lights, all while learning more about what early Greenbelters did to mark the season. The tour will end at the museum house for a peek at Deco the Halls, the Museum's holiday display of vintage decorations and to have a bit of hot cider and gingerbread. Tours are on Sunday, December 10, and Sunday, December 17, beginning in front of 10B Crescent at 5pm. Estimated tour time: 1 hour. Cost is $6 per person, children under 12 are free! Questions?
