The following provided by Friends of the DDH President, Laurel Scotti. Friends of the Dwight-Derby House Announce New Website The Friends of the Dwight-Derby House announce the launching of a new website at http://www.dwightderbyhouse.org. The Dwight-Derby House is the story of two Medfield families who lived in the house that still stands at 7 Frairy Street dating back to 1651. Some of the new features of this new site include George Horatio Derby Artifacts and Satirical Writing collections. George Horatio Derby was America's first satirical writer, an explorer and a Captain who served in the U.S. Army of Topographical Engineers. His childhood home was the Dwight-Derby House in Medfield. Added to the site are a family timeline, restoration photos from the 1996 renovation when the house was purchased by the town of Medfield, online events, site rental information, and online shopping at The 1651 Shoppe. A special thanks to Medfield Photographer Mark Hickey for his time and talent invested in the must-see interior room photography shown on the new website as well as editors Claire Shaw and Jo Ellen Heck. For the safety of our visitors the museum is currently closed due to COVID-19. We look forward to seeing you as soon as we reopen. We welcome feedback after you tour the upstairs rooms for the first time!
