Twenty-eighth Week, Wednesday's "Medfield Historical Minute"
Thank you, Richard DeSorgher for writing "Medfield Historical Minutes" for over 6 months during COVID 19. We appreciate it!
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 1891 Article 17 of the Annual Town Meeting asked “to see if the town will grant a bounty on rattlesnakes taken and killed in town.” Rattlesnakes were seen throughout town and especially in Rocky Woods. After much debate, the article was defeated. A rattlesnake measuring almost five feet was killed by Daniel Garfield."
