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 1890 a group of Medfield youths, one of whom pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly, went on a rampage in Medfield Center. Pickets were removed from the fence of Joseph Clark on West Main Street; the front windows of Joseph M. Johnson’s bread store (corner of Main and Park Streets) were smashed; the lamp of Carpenter’s Barber Shop was thrown lighted across North Street; the hat factory’s boarding house street lamp was destroyed; profanity was yelled for some time and the large lights in the post office were demolished."
