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 1700 Henry Adams was chosen Medfield’s first town treasurer. Before this time the selectmen acted as treasurer and paid all the bills and received the rates and other income of the town."
