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 1692, with Witch Hysteria sweeping across Massachusetts, especially in Salem, tradition says that there was a witch living here in Medfield near the South Schoolhouse. She was visited and rebuked by the minister. She retaliated by turning herself into a black cat, which scratched the minister’s heels as he walked home near the Boiling Spring (off Spring Street). Another witch was reported living at the foot of the hill on Harding Street, near Byng’s Pond."
