Medfield's Dwight-Derby House: A Story of Love & Persistence

Constructed in 1651, the Dwight-Derby House stands as the centerpiece of the Medfield town common and at the heart of the town's history. Contained within the walls of this 350-year-old time capsule are the stories of two prominent families: the Dwights and the Derbys--united in their deep connection to the home. To this day, the house remains a testament to the dedication and fortitude of the community, which banded together and succeeded in preserving this historic landmark.
