Fifty First Week, Tuesday'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.
"In 1895 the Library Trustees reported that the “usual appropriation of $100 and receipts from the dog tax will be sufficient for the needs of the library (then located in town hall) for the ensuing year.” They listed the following periodicals available at the library: Harper’s and Leslie’s Weekly, Scientific American, Medfield News, Harper’s, Scribner’s Cosmopolitan, Century, Atlantic, Munsey’s Frank Leslie’s, St. Nicholas and Review of Reviews."
