The Community Foundation for MetroWest (CFMW) is inviting friends and neighbors in and around Natick to join us for an afternoon exploring Natick’s rich history and its journey to become the vibrant town it is today.

Step into the heart of downtown on a one hour guided walking tour of Natick Center with Natick resident Terri Evans, where attendees will learn the story of Natick’s evolution from a small, rural village to a bustling suburban hub during the rise of industry.

Following the tour, guests will gather at the Morse Institute Library for an informative conversation with some of the Foundation’s nonprofit partners to hear about the shifts in Natick’s demographics and discover how these organizations are embracing, supporting, and engaging with residents to envision the future of Natick together.
