WELCOME BACK!
It’s been a long time since the last post, but now as Dedham celebrates 375 years as a town, it is time to share more tales from old Shiretown. If you are new to the blog, be sure to read all the old posts. Let me know what you think- suggest possible topics- send photos. Let’s celebrate Dedham’s birthday together!
Catching Air in Tower St. Backyard; February, 1971
We had a small hill in the backyard and would build jumps out of snow. Those plastic coasters were the newest thing at the time. In the background, my older sister is about to go down the hill with my year and a half year old brother in his plastic bathtub.
When I visited the old neighborhodd a few years ago, the family that bought the house on Tower St. from my parents told me they also sled down the hill, which they have named “Mt. Wilcox.” I love when traditions are carried on through the years.

“Coasting”!
Nobody else remembers that we used to call it “coasting” instead of “sledding” whenever I mention it.
Here’s a Blizzard of ’78 photo from the Globe. See if you can spot the error.
