A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis.
A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"In 1838 Henry Partridge bought the old nail factory, together with the grist mill (today Main Street/Route 109 where Mill Brook crosses RT. 109 just past Hartford Street) and fitted them up for the manufacture of hay forks (pitchforks) and similar goods, which continued for several years. His pitchforks had a wide reputation for excellence."
