About this event

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

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.
