The Medford-Brooks Estate Land Trust (M-BELT) invites you to a guided walk at the Shepherd Brooks Estate property. The walk will focus on the history and landscape of the site, as well as provide an opportunity for input on the preliminary design for the new access drive that is an important part of the master plan for the property.

Meet at the green gate/blue sign for the Brooks Estate at 275 Grove Street. The walk will take about one hour and end at the Shepherd Brooks Manor. Please wear sturdy shoes. Masks are required inside the manor. Please do not park in Oak Grove Cemetery or on Grove Street; some on-street parking is available on Apache Trail, but please be aware of driveways.

To help the organizers in plannning, please sign up for the the walk by sending an email to inquiries@brooksestate.org.

M-BELT is a nonprofit organization that manages the Brooks Estate, owned by the City of Medford. A former Victorian summer retreat for Peter Chardon Brooks and Shepherd Brooks, the property is graced by two Victorian buildings, the Shepherd Brooks Manor and Carriage House (1880), both slated for adaptive re-use as community assets. The property also offers Brooks Pond and 50 acres of open space for birds, wildlife and nature lovers.
