Girl Scouts tour Dwight-Derby House

From Geoff Sauter, the enthusiastic and dedicated man in charge of the Friends of the Dwight-Derby House, Inc. The Dwight-Derby House is one of the dozen oldest houses in the US. It a national treasure, that the Friends of the Dwight-Derby House, Inc. take care of for the Town of Medfield. Tours of the fascinating Dwight-Derby House are available to anyone who asks. –

I thought you should know about what went on.

Yesterday morning, I hosted a session for the Medfield Girl Scouts to explain the materials and construction techniques used in colonial homes.  The young ladies are working on a badge called, “Cadettes who Build”. With exposed beams and open walls, the Dwight-Derby house was the perfect place to start.

The next phase is a visit to Home Depot to look at currently available building materials.

Best,

Geoff
