Exploring Greenbelt, Maryland

Established in 1937, Eleanor Roosevelt’s planned community vision in Greenbelt is still thriving today!  I visited some family members who are delighted to be a part of this cooperative community.

The place is also a Mecca for art deco enthusiasts, too!  The community center was originally the town elementary school and features these amazing limestone sculptures.

We had a tasty lunch at the New Deal Café—

the Roosevelt influence remains strong!

You can also see the art deco influence in the rows of 

townhomes, apartments, and semi-detached homes.

Shout out to my grand niece who created a Little Free Library with a friend for a Girl Scout award project!  They did a fantastic job.  It is perfectly placed next to a playground adjacent to the community center.
