The Greenbelt Museum tells the story of how the New Deal changed the landscape of the area in the late 1930s. The museum allows guests to learn more about local history as well as view historic homes and gardens. The Greenbelt Museum also hosts a lecture series which highlights topics relating to the Great Depression and World War II. It has a Retro Town Fair during the late summer which allows attendees to try their hand at flower arranging, canning, and needlework. Guided tours of the museum and historic district are available although they need to be booked a few weeks in advance.
