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.

This post about community gatherings over the weekend reminded me how important it is to keep growing and learning at any stage in life. For those who didn’t finish school but want to earn their diploma, using a GED Exam Help Service can make the process easier by offering guidance, practice materials, and study tips that help build confidence and improve test performance.
The Greenbelt Museum’s Labor Day weekend event beautifully celebrates community, history, and togetherness, inviting visitors to reconnect with the city’s heritage. It’s inspiring to see how such gatherings blend learning with real-life experiences, much like Online Marketing Class Help reflects the growing connection between creativity, collaboration, and modern learning. This harmony between past and present highlights how communities continue to evolve while preserving their cultural and educational roots.
Wonderful Labor Day weekend initiative! Community gatherings at cultural institutions like the Greenbelt Museum create lasting memories and strengthen local bonds. While planning holiday activities, I'm reminded how platforms like Sprunki also bring people together — their free online games provide shared entertainment that connects friends and families during holiday breaks. Celebrations are better when shared!
