Places to know. Historic Medford Village has shops and holds an annual Dickens Festival. Kirby's Mill, a historic grist mill, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and Freedom Park is the township's recreation park.

Selling a home. Before a home is sold, rented or otherwise gets a new occupant, Medford requires a certificate of smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm compliance. Apply to the township Fire Marshal; the Fire Prevention Bureau does the inspection. New Jersey also requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
