This section offers several recently developed walking tours.
The first, a Walking Tour of Downtown Patchogue, presents some newly uncovered research findings, as it re-introduces in surprising architectural and historic detail, buildings that may otherwise be pretty much taken for granted, as people walk by them daily. There are three ways to take the tour: (1) You can download and view them as a PDF. (2) You can hear and view them on your mobile device. Or, (3) Flip through the pages of the tour on Digital PML.
The second, a Walking Tour of Library History, updates and expands an informal centennial tour. The new tour takes a now and then approach. As you walk along several streets in the heart of Patchogue, the current building is shown, followed by what was there when the Library there, and/or its role in library history, at between 1883 and now.

The third, Chamber 100th Anniversary Walking Tour, is an interactive electronic walking tour map designed and implemented for mobile devices, in connection with the 100th anniversary of the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce and with a walking tour of Patchogue conducted by the Patchogue-Medford Library on May 18, 2024.
