Natick Historical Society talk to focus on Rte. 9

February 10, 2021 by Bob Brown

From Natick Historical Society:

Today, we think of Route 9 as a regional shopping mecca, but its history as a highway goes back 200 years. Join us for a virtual conversation on March 9 from 7-8pm with Terri Evans. We’ll share stories of Route 9’s role in Natick history, from the location of the town’s first post offices to the rise of retail after the Second World War.

Terri Evans, who serves on the Board of the Natick Historical Society, is a longtime tour guide with Boston By Foot and also leads walking tours of Natick.

This program is FREE and open to the public.

Advanced registration is required. Please fill out this form to register for a link to this virtual event.
