We invite you to build visually impressive maquettes of meaningful moments from your life. Take on the role of set designer as you transform personal stories into 3-dimensional renderings of the spaces where they unfolded. Whether it’s a treasured business, a neighborhood civic center, or your own home, these environments are where memories were made.

Together, we’ll reconstruct Hyattsville as it is, as it once was, and as we imagine it could be. Through this blend of storytelling and design, we’ll create a collective memory of our community that honors the past, celebrates the present, and envisions the future.

These designs will be displayed as part of Hyattsville Aging In Place performance as part of the We the People – Prince George’s 250 Block Party to commemorate Prince George’s County’s history, arts, culture, and more on May 30, 2026!
