Fifty First Week, Thursday's "Medfield Historical Minute"
Thank you to Richard DeSorgher for sharing an abundance of Medfield Historical Minutes with all of us!
A Medfield Historical Minute...
Although the Coronavirus is still part of our daily lives, there is hope on the horizon that we will not be isolated too much longer as vaccinations are now taking place. Medfield Historical Minutes were Richard's way of "giving you a little break during this time of boredom during
isolation" by sharing his knowledge of Medfield history.
These daily postings have been a huge hit with Patch readers, however as we approach 364 pieces of historical information shared, these "little somethings" as Richard called them will come to an end after Week 52. A huge thank you to Richard DeSorgher for his time and
dedication to sharing the history of Medfield with our community for one full year.
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
"On May 29, 1983 a lease agreed to by town voters, the Library Trustees, the Historical Society and the Selectmen was signed. The Historical Society agreed to vacate their previous headquarter in the library and move into the former bank building next door on Pleasant Street. The building has previously been purchased by the town for library expansion, the use for which never came about. The lease was for one dollar a year."
