Before the railway brought people to Bowie, it was a town based on agriculture. The city’s history and development as a farming town is reflected in the Belair Estate, location of the Belair Mansion. This five-part Georgian plantation house is a look into Bowie’s past and is also recognized as the only great colonial estate where racehorse breeding was conducted for three centuries. This significantly influenced the development of thoroughbred horse racing in the new world. You can even visit the Belair Stable Museum which highlights the accomplishments of Belair’s horses and their racing legacy. For another historical building, visit the Seabrook Schoolhouse, one of the few surviving one-room schoolhouses in Prince George’s County. You can tour the school to learn about its artifacts and interpretive exhibits and programs. Discover more of Bowie’s rich and diverse historic and cultural heritage by enjoying a walk through Town Green in Old Town Bowie.  Bowie also sponsors summer concerts at Allen Pond Park and on the Town Green. For a look into Bowie’s art scene, go to the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts, a large theatre with popular plays. For something a little more low-key, the Bowie Playhouse is a little theatre in the woods where you can catch a play featuring local actors. Art and history come together in Bowie.
