Welcome!
At the Medfield Historical Society history comes alive! We are an enthusiastic nonprofit membership organization working to preserve and share Medfield’s history. Our library and archives, our museum and our rich offerings of programs and exhibitions are accessible to all—building a sense of excitement for local history, pride of citizenship, and stewardship of our legacy for generations to come.
Our programs bring history to life and cultivate our collective memory showing how we as a town define ourselves and our cultural fabric. Our ability to preserve, collect, and share Medfield’s rich heritage is only possible through your generosity. Please join or donate today and help keep our history alive!
