This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.

"In 1900 the importance of farming in Medfield was reflected in personal property taxes which were levied on 431 cows, 64 other cattle, 31 swine, 1,637 fowl, and 256 horses. Associated trades and small industry, such as three sawmills, and slaughter houses, a tannery and two cider mills, were flourishing trades."
