Medfield Historical Society program for April will the showing of the one-hour movie "Historic 17th Century Houses of Medfield." date- April 5, 2010 @ 7:30 PM in the auditorium of Medfield High School on the big screen. Admission is free, all are invited

There has been much town-wide concern lately over the fate of the historic Lowell Mason House on 25 Adams Street. The historic 1791 house was bought by a developer who has plans to demolish the house and build a two family house in its place, a trend that we have seen more and more lately. On Monday evening April 5 at 7:30 on the big screen in the auditorium of Medfield High School, the Historical Society will present a one-hour movie free of charge on the "Historic 17th Century Houses of Medfield." While the town continues to lose its historic nature with each historic house demolished, there are still 17 homes in town that all or part of the structure dates to the 17th century. We often focus on the historic houses we have lost, the movie will focus on those still standing, with the hope that they will continue to be saved. Featured in the movie will be the original 1690 part of the Lowell Mason House. The 1791 section, now on Adams Street, was separated from the original 17th century house now on 127 North Street and moved to Adams Street in 1875.
