Twenty-fifth Week, Monday's "Medfield Historical Minute"
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.
"Medfield was in Suffolk County until 1793, when Norfolk County was incorporated. The Town rejected an opportunity to be the county seat because townspeople feared that Medfield’s youth would fall into habits of idleness and would be corrupted by hearing of wrongdoings when watching and hearing about court trials because they would be so temptingly near at hand."
