This summer’s Medford walking tour by historian Dee Morris is “Medford Square: Always Looking Towards Tomorrow.”

A city square that provides a community with the “stuff” that defines daily life. Goods and services that morph over time as new need emerge. Medford’s iconic rum distillery and the Royal Oak Tavern are no more, yet there are physical reminders of our history that co-exist with contemporary landmarks. Join Dee for a fresh look at Medford Square that combines a nod to the past with some lively conversation about the future.

Meet in the Rose Sloane Garden plaza in front of Century Bank at 1 Salem Street in Medford Square.

The walking tour will be repeated at 10 a.m. on August 17.

Note: This walk was rescheduled from the original date of July 20 because of extremely hot weather.
