Welcome To Medway

Where the hell is Medway, Massachusetts anyway?

As a child of Medway, I decided it was about time to make a travel video of the town I lived a good chunk of my life in. And like any person revisiting their middle and highschool hometown, we are very non-PR about the whole thing. Ha ha ha.

With my current Medway Travel Expert - Bella Pagliazzo, we explore the vast excitement that is Medway, Massachusetts. And we play in Ocean State Job Lot a lot. Cause really, in Medway, there is not much else to do besides go get something to eat, then play in Ocean State.

This video is probably going to be hated publicly by the Town of Medway, and laughed at privately in their homes. But let's be honest people, it's Medway, not Disney Land. But somehow Medway does have a surprising history of having amazing food places. I have no idea why.....

If you are not from Medway this may not be as funny. If you are from a small suburbia-cow town, then just insert your own town name and it may be close. If you are from the city, you suck cause im jealous and you had so much stuff to actually do.

Thanks to Chillset, the best (and possibly only, but really good either way) band from Medway who let me use one of their songs in the background.

And thanks to the store workers who totally saw what we were doing and just laughed at us and walked away. Because it's Medway, and everyone gets that you go up town to hang out and be ridiculous. Whether you are 34 or 13. :)

OK here's some links and stuff:

History:

'The Rise and Fall of the Medfield State Hospital'

Originally written and posted By Richard DeSorgher, March 4, 2011

Link to article provided below

Begun in 1892, it opened its doors in May of 1896 and closed them on April 3, 2003. In between those years, thousands of residents lived, loved, laughed, suffered and died in many of its 58 buildings. Thousands of support staff, doctors, nurses, and psychiatric personnel worked there; at its height, 500-900 at a time.

When it first opened on over 900 acres of land in the northwest corner of Medfield, it was officially called the Medfield Insane Asylum and it was built to relieve the overcrowding of other state facilities. Within 10 years there were 1,554 patients at the Medfield institution. The Medfield Insane Asylum was the first state mental hospital in Massachusetts to be built on the cottage plan, with individual buildings to allow for better light and ventilation. In order to make living conditions more homelike, sleeping quarters were on the second floor and sitting and work rooms were on the ground floor.

At first, the staff worked on the wards and lived with the patients, usually sleeping in the attics of the buildings where they worked. For a time inmate death rate averaged four per week. Trustees instructed the asylum superintendent to secure slate headstones for patient graves and to pay the bills incurred for building the tomb in the asylum lot at Vine Lake Cemetery. Up until the Influenza Epidemic of 1918, patients not buried in their hometowns were buried in Medfield's Vine lake Cemetery. After 1918 a hospital cemetery was built on state land near the Charles River, which can still be seen inside a grove of trees off Route 27 towards the Sherborn town line.

Farming took place on the hundreds of acres of land surrounding the campus. A farmhouse was built across Canal Street (now Hospital Road) in 1901. It served as living quarters for the head farmer and his family as well as 14 farm hands and 30 patients. The farm played an important role in the lives of the patients and the economy of the hospital until farming was stopped in the late 1960's. For many years the produce and the milk from the dairy herds supplied food and milk for the residents, not only at Medfield but for many of the surrounding state institutions as well.

In 1902 Medfield opened a two-year training program for nurses which later became a three-year program in 1914 with students affiliated at Boston City Hospital. It was in 1902 that the hospital joined the other facilities as an admission and treatment center rather than a transfer institution to relieve overcrowding at other facilities. In addition to the adult patients, there were also between 6-10 emotionally disturbed children admitted to the facility; the youngest just 4-years old. In 1914 the name was officially changed to Medfield State Hospital. During the 1930-1940's the hospital became overcrowded itself with over 2,300 patients; many years the hospital population was larger than the Town of Medfield itself.



Info about the property itself:

While its layout and longevity alone are standout features of the Medfield State Hospital, perhaps its most notable quality is that while other similar institutions today face demolition or have already been destroyed, this hospital campus has been reopened to the public who are welcome to walk the grounds during the daytime. While some buildings have been flattened, over 35 of them remain standing and in various states of disrepair. Entry to all buildings is prohibited, and security officers are regularly present to enforce this rule, but visitors are welcome to explore the abandoned grounds and many walking paths, free of cost.

Since closing, the hospital also served as filming locations for motion pictures such as Shutter Island and The Box. The Town of Medfield officially purchased the hospital in December 2014, and the future of this magnificent historical site is uncertain.

There are two gates into the property; the second gate (coming from route 27) is open from 6am to 8am and you can drive all the way into the campus or park just past the gate and walk. Very welcoming guards are posted and will happily direct you the correct gate. The campus is large and open to the public but about half of it is periodically closed for filming and/or construction.

From Wikipedia:
Medfield State Hospital, originally the Medfield Insane Asylum, is a historic former psychiatric hospital complex at 45 Hospital Road in Medfield, Massachusetts, United States. The asylum was established in 1892 as the state's first facility for dealing with chronic mental patients. The college-like campus was designed by William Pitt Wentworth and developed between 1896 and 1914. After an era dominated by asylums built using the Kirkbride Plan, Medfield Insane Asylum was the first asylum built using the new Cottage Plan layout, where instead of holding patients in cells, they would be integrated into a small community and work a specific job. It was formally renamed Medfield State Hospital in 1914.

At its height the complex included 58 buildings, on a property of some 1.4 sq mi (3.6 km2), and a capacity of 2,200 patients. It raised its own livestock and produce, and generated its own heat, light and power. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, the property was closed in April 2003 and the buildings shuttered. The grounds have been restored, and reopened to the public and are open every day from sun up to sundown. It has been used as a filming location for thriller/horror motion pictures such as The New Mutants, Shutter Island, and The Box. As of July 2012, The Clark Building was demolished. Local Medfield Police now patrol the facility. Trespassing is strictly forbidden past dark and until sunrise. Within the grounds of the hospital lies the Medfield State Hospital Cemetery which has 841 gravesites. This cemetery was opened from 1918 until 1988. Originally, only numbers were on the graves in this cemetery until a Boy Scout from Troop 89 made it his Eagle Scout service project to find the names and dates of death of all those buried in the cemetery.

Starting in October 2013 demolition of three buildings was completed; The Odyssey House, the Carriage House, and the Laundry Building.

Tranquil summer beach day at DAR State Forest and campground. Upper Highland Lake Massachusetts

I stopped off at DAR State Forest and campground in Goshen, MA on my way to the Berkshires to hike and fish along the Deerfield River and the Housatonic. I wish I had planned more time for a relaxing beach day on Upper Highland Lake.

The beach pictured here is available to all state park visitors and had bathroom/changing facilities. There was a separate campers-only beach which I might post later (mention in the comments if interested!) that was equally as nice and located along the main campground loop.
