Come on a walking tour with local historian Dee Morris to learn more about the history of Medford in Motion!

We will gather at Haines Square, one of Medford's busiest business districts, and then go on to explore Fellsway West, a wide parkway completed in 1898. Leading to the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the historic road provided an ideal venue for the Fellsway Driving Club to race their horse-drawn sleighs. This neighborhood also embraced blue collar workers such as Waldimir Kashtaniuk, a chocolate maker, and Nathan B. Levine, a street car operator born in Lithuania. Fellsway West had everything that hard-working men and women could desire: convenience, affordability and access to nature. 

Meeting Place:

Meet at the beautiful Haines Square mural on the Fellsway Theatre building next to the large parking lot abutting Target, Walgreens and Flash Fitness Gym on Salem Street. It is next to the Salem Street @ Fellsway Garage bus stop on the Bus 101 route.
