At Greenbelt Museum, learn about American history and explore the town of Greenbelt. Created in 1937 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, Greenbelt is a planned community and National Historic Landmark. Following the Great Depression, Roosevelt introduced a series of domestic programs called the New Deal, designed to rehabilitate the economy. These programs included planned communities like Greenbelt, which were established to provide housing for low-income workers and to be a model for modern town planning in America. You can explore the fascinating development of one of these planned communities at Greenbelt Museum. Instead of housing all their exhibits under one roof, the museum is more of an interactive experience that takes you throughout the town of Greenbelt. Begin your journey at Greenbelt Community Center. This is home to a series of permanent and rotating exhibits that teach visitors about the New Deal and American life during the 1930s. As you wander through the exhibits, absorb the variety of information covered, which ranges from World War II fashion to Greenbelt’s gardening history. Head down the street to Greenbelt Museum’s historic house. The house was built in the distinctive International Style, the definitive architectural style of the 1930s. Inside, it has been furnished with objects made between 1936 and 1952\. See kitchen utensils, depression glass and children’s toys. Take note of the furniture, which was made by the Resettlement Administration’s Special Skills Division. As you walk through the house, try to picture yourself as one of the struggling families who were relocated to one of these planned communities following the Great Depression. The historic house is only open on Sunday afternoons for tours. However, you can organize group tours at other times if you book in advance. The museum also offers a map for a self-guided tour of historic Greenbelt. The town is quite small and easy to explore on foot. Greenbelt is located just 15 minutes outside Washington, D.C. It is an easy drive or you can get there via the metrorail system. ## Plan a trip to see Greenbelt Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,093 reviews) Originally had booked a stay at Arlo D.C. in their King bed room with a city view. Checked into the hotel and as we were inspecting our room, we noticed stains on the sheets. After calling guest service and notifying them, they gave the option of having new sheets or to change to the room next door. We changed to the room next door and the floor had multiple mysterious reddish/brown stains on the carpet. We reported this again to guest service and they were more than accommodating. They complimentary upgraded us to the Studio King room where the room was spotless and the view was amazing. The staff was more than helpful and always kind when asking them questions. The hotel is in a great location if you don't mind a mild walk - we didn't walk anywhere for more than 30 minutes, and we were able to see everything we wanted to in DC!
