We hope many of you will join us over Labor Day weekend at the Museum. We have a variety of fun events planned!
On Sunday August 31, starting at 9 a.m., the Museum house will be the starting point for a Bricks and Blocks Walking Tour. This tour will highlight historic Greenbelt’s domestic architecture, the “brick and block” homes that make up the majority of the original planned community. The guide will show the walkers how to “read” the brick and block homes. The tour will feature spots of historic interest that have not been featured on previous walking tours. The Bricks and Blocks tour leaves from the Greenbelt Museum at 10-B Crescent Road and takes approximately two hours, including the Museum’s orientation film. Pre-registration is required via Eventbrite. Dress for walking outdoors. The tours will not be conducted in thunder/lightning storms or if the temperature is above 95 degrees.
On Sunday, September 1, join us for the Retro Town Fair (RTF)! This event is much like those the earliest Greenbelters enjoyed starting in 1939. Ribbons will be awarded for the best entries in a number of categories including flowers, vegetables, baked goods, canned goods and needlework/sewing. Click on the entry form image for a pdf version to print. Entries will be accepted from 10 to 11:30am and the winners displayed from 1 to 4pm. All items must be picked up between 4 and 5pm. Questions can be sent to education@greenbeltmuseum.org
Also on Sunday, the Museum house will open for short tours from1 to 5pm. The regular, longer format tours will not be offered, but visitors can take a peek to see how a typical Greenbelt family would have lived in the late 1930s to the early 1950s. On Monday look for the Friends of the Greenbelt Museum in the Labor Day parade!
All through the weekend, feel free to visit the Greenbelt Community Center to see historic photos which line the walls or stop in to the Museum exhibit, The Knowing Hands that Carve This Stone: The New Deal Art of Lenore Thomas Straus.

If you're looking for a quick way to sharpen your focus during breaks, you should try coreball game unblocked. It’s based on the classic AA game mechanics where you need to stick pins into a rotating ball without hitting others. It starts simple but gets incredibly intense. A perfect "just one more try" kind of game that runs perfectly in any browser!
I’ve been looking for something simple to pass time, and Block Breaker free turned out to be a great choice. No downloads, just quick gameplay whenever you need a break.
Sounds like a fun weekend at the Museum! I love learning about historic architecture. By the way, if you're into strategy games, you might enjoy Chess Analysis t's a great way to improve your skills and have fun at the same time!

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people-to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.
There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you might…
