Myron McLane donates Robert McCarthy’s anvil

Thanks to Myron McLane for donating to the Town of Medfield the anvil that formerly belonged to blacksmith Robert McCarthy.  It is the same anvil that Myron McLane used when he first apprenticed with Robert McCarthy right out of high school decades ago, and which he made a point of buying when McCarthy’s shop was auctioned off, so as to preserve this piece of Medfield history.

The anvil memorial for former blacksmith Robert McCarthy is to be unveiled at 12:30 PM on Medfield Day on Jane’s Avenue, in front of where Mr. McCarthy had his blacksmith shop.

Being a blacksmith, Mr. McLane also knows a thing or two about how to fabricate things, and he designed and  made the anvil memorial.
