Description:	Greendale was one of three "Greenbelt: communities founded in 1936 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Property was owned by the government and rented to families based on income, family size, and housing needs. Our walk begins at the center of the Village, the site of a variety of shops and the Visitor Center, and includes historic buildings, gentle hills, and wooded trails. We will pass many of the "Originals", homes built with a "backwards" design--the front yards are in the back". Winding paths make their through this "walking village".
