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 1707, Medfield’s first physician, Dr. Return Johnson, died. He had served the medical needs of Medfield since coming to town in 1679. He was replaced as town doctor in 1710 by Dr. Samuel Adams."
