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.

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…

This announcement about the Greenbelt Museum’s Labor Day Weekend activities highlights a wonderful opportunity for community engagement, family-friendly experiences, and meaningful interaction with local history and culture. Events like this not only foster a strong sense of connection and shared learning but also remind us how immersive environments can enrich our personal and academic growth. Similarly, choosing to study in Ireland offers students a vibrant educational experience set within a culturally rich and welcoming country, where heritage, innovation, and global perspectives come together to support both academic success and lifelong curiosity.

By the way, if you're looking for a totally different kind of retro thrill after the fair (something spooky from the past that still haunts us today), I always fire up FNAF online on my phone. The FNAF unblocked version runs perfectly anywhere, and surviving those creepy 80s-style animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s feels like stepping into another era—just way more terrifying than Greenbelt’s charming brick homes! Anyone else mixing historic tours with horror games this weekend? See you at the events!

CapCut APK usage has become common among mobile editors who prioritize speed and accessibility. Short-form video platforms move quickly, and creators often need tools that keep up with trends without complicated learning curves.
