Coming in October for Adults

The Medfield Public Library and The Center at Medfield present HALLOWEEN HAUNTINGS—two American tales of suspense. Written in the days of ominously flickering candles and kerosene lamps, “The Shadows on the Wall” and “The House That Was Not” continue to thrill. In the wake of a sudden mysterious death, “The Shadows on the Wall” draws four siblings to a familiar but menacing New England parlor. “The House That Was Not” lures an unsuspecting new bride across the bleak Nebraska prairie. Authored by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1903) and Elia Wilkinson Peattie (1898),respectively, these tales evoke the America of a century ago, enthralling audiences today.

Join Retired Massachusetts Superior Court Justice Dennis J. Curran for a lecture from his series “Great Trials That Changed History: A Judge’s Perspective” 

The 1849 murder of Dr. George Parkman in Boston stands as one of the most - if not the most - sensational trials of the 19th century. This case has it all: a grisly murder, a dismembered corpse, a wealthy victim, a respected suspect, a questionable lead witness for the prosecution and unusual court proceedings. The forensics of the case—one of the first trials to allow scientific evidence as testimony, and the first to allow dental evidence—are explored along with a brief history of the “Spunkers” Club, a secret group of body-snatchers at the Harvard Medical School.
