This charming space pays tribute to a remarkable First Lady whose legacy continues to inspire!

Eleanor Roosevelt played a crucial role in the Greenbelt communities, a New Deal initiative aimed at providing affordable housing for low-income families. In 1936, the U.S. Department of Agriculture created three towns designed to offer a balance of city & country living.

Greendale, with its scenic layout, was seen by many as a tiny utopia, a slice of paradise. Eleanor visited Greendale & called it a “delightful site,” praising it as a “really good development.” 572 originals were built, welcoming families to settle in and make their lives starting in 1938.

We aimed to honor Eleanor Roosevelt as a revolutionary First Lady & one of the most driven women to ever serve in the White House. She is remembered as a passionate advocate for women's rights and social justice.
