5 Ways to Stay Connected to Natick

With busy lives of people these days, it's hard to take time to stop into the Police Station or Town Hall to get to know those who help Natick run smoothly. We took the liberty to find out a few ways you can stay in touch with the pulse of Natick from the comforts of your own home.

1) "Fan" the Natick Police and Fire departments on Facebook. They both keep their page up-to-date with posts, stories and links.

2) Find out how your house is doing financially by checking comparables with the town's online property database.

3) See what's going on in the town's parks and rec areas.

4) Read a magazine ... online. The Morse Library has several online subscriptions you can read from your computer.

5) Last, but certainly not least, subscribe to the Natick Patch newsletter. Each morning you will receive an email with the day's stories and links to the homepage.
