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 1849 the old brick schoolhouse on the corner of North and Harding Streets was demolished and taken away and a new schoolhouse was erected for the north district on the corner of North and School Streets. This would remain the elementary school for the north end students until it closed in 1920. It was named the Lowell Mason School in 1901."
