UPDATE ON THE EAST PARLOR PROJECT
Thank you for joining us as we recreate history!
We are pleased to announce that due to the generosity of our loyal friends and contributors we have exceeded the challenge offered to us by the Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund. We are now moving to the next step of researching, identifying, and procuring historically accurate items for our period interpritation of the East Parlor.
The transition from the 18th century to the 19th century in the East Parlor will be an ongoing process as we introduce new artifacts and relocate others. For example, in late June we installed an 1836 museum quality Morrison and Manning wood stove.
We invite volunteers to join us as we search for the remaining pieces of the finished project. Please contact us if you are an inveterate sleuth with an eye for antiques!
The Dwight-Derby House is a wonderful example of a mid-century 1700s home, resting in a setting that has withstood the ravages of time. This house was named for its two long-term families who lived amongst its walls.
Our collections help interpret the lives of the Dwight and Derby families and the times in which they lived. Browse our George Horatio Derby Artifacts and Satirical Writing Collections, Colonial Furniture/Accent Pieces and more.
The Dwight-Derby House was a family residence for more than three hundred years. Our museum takes you back in time to experience the ambiance of a 17th century home and its transition through the 18th century.
Plan your special event at the Dwight-Derby House and help support preservation and care for one of the oldest homes in Medfield, which spans three centuries dating back to 1651.
