Walking Tours with Dee Morris. 10:00AM. Once the home of wealthy Medford shipbuilders and entrepreneurs of English stock, the South Street area has been a neighborhood for more than 175 years. When large house lots were subdivided, it became possible for Irish and Yankee workers from around Union Street (near today’s police station) to upgrade their housing. By the 1920s some homes were occupied by Italian families such as that of the poet and author John Ciardi, who were eager to tap into the American Dream. The tour will focus on South Street, and take quick looks at Walnut, Manning, Touro, Maple and Curtis streets. The groups will meet in front of the gas station on the corner of South Street and Main Street. No pre-registration is required. Presented by the Friends of the Medford Public Library.
