Historian Dee Morris introduces a four-part series, “Medford’s Compass Points,” in which she will discuss the city’s four “cardinal point” neighborhoods, starting with North Medford.  Also known as Fulton Heights, North Medford embraces a rocky terrain dotted with many compact homes that date to the 1920s. Close by the Middlesex Fells Reservation, this tree-filled neighborhood features curving streets named for the governors of Massachusetts. The shore of Wright’s Pond was once supported Filmland City, a silent film enterprise that hoped to become a Hollywood of the East. Early residents prided themselves on their independence, including Sarah Bradlee Fulton, hero of the Revolution.

Other presentations in the series (all on Tuesdays) will be South Medford on May 23; East Medford on June 27; and West Medford on July 18. Reserve your seat for one or all of the presentations by calling the Senior Center at 781-396-6010.
