Bricks and Blocks Walking Tour
Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 9am— 10B Crescent Rd.
Pre-registration required via Eventbrite.
This tour highlights historic Greenbelt’s domestic architecture — the “brick and block” homes that make up most of the original planned community. Your guide will show you how to “read” these homes and point out spots of historic interest not featured on previous tours.
The tour leaves from the Greenbelt Museum at 10-B Crescent Rd. and takes about 2 hours, including the museum’s orientation film. Afterward, guests can visit the interior of the historic home. Dress for walking outdoors — space is limited to 12 people. Tours don’t run in thunder/lightning or above 95°F. If weather forces a cancellation, you’ll be notified via Eventbrite.
Retro Town Fair
Sunday, September 6, 1pm–4pm — 10B Crescent Rd.
Modeled on the fairs early Greenbelters enjoyed starting in 1939. Ribbons awarded for best entries in flowers, vegetables, baked goods, canned goods, and needlework/sewing. Entries accepted 10am–11:30am with a completed submission form (see below for the form); on display 1–4pm; pickup 4–5pm. Questions: Sheila Maffay-Tuthill, Education and Volunteer Coordinator, education@greenbeltmuseum.org
Mini Historic House Tours

Quick tours of the historic house! Come walk through our exhibition about America's 200th in 1976 and explore what patriotism looked like then! Free. Note: the house will not be open following the Labor Day Parade this year.

I’ve noticed handyman home services are especially useful for those unfinished household jobs that can remain on a to-do list for months without the right tools or experience.
The walking tour sounds like such a great way to actually understand the history behind those brick and block homes—I love that they show you how to "read" the architecture. The Retro Town Fair with the ribbons for baked goods and needlework is such a charming nod to the original 1939 fairs, too. Speaking of Labor Day traditions, I've been filling downtime with the krillion unlimited game lately, so a day outside learning about local history feels like the perfect balance. Hope the weather cooperates for the tour!
Bathroom Vanity selection often depends on the size and layout of the bathroom. A smaller vanity can provide useful storage while still leaving enough comfortable walking space.
