Welcome to Dedham Tales! by Jim Parr
EXTRA!! EXTRA!! New Dedham Blog goes live!
Ghosts! Legends! Scandal! Crime and Punishment! Mr. Ed! Wrangler Wranch! Dedham has it all, and you’ll read all about it on these pages. This blog is a followup to my recently published book Dedham: Historic and Heroic Tales from Shiretown. Most of the tales in the book took place decades, even centuries ago, and some of those stories will be highlighted here. But there will also be tales from the Dedham that I knew as I grew up here in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. The Dedham from that time may also be the Dedham that you know best, so I hope that this blog becomes a conversation where lots of stories and pictures are shared. If you would like to buy your own autographed copy of the book, just let me know!

Love, love it all. Brought back many fond memories (50s-60s) and others I never knew about. I recently wrote about one of my escapades attempting to secure (shhh…steal) wagons for the 4th of July burning in Oakdale Square. This yearly event should be among these wonderful Dedham memories as it was truly quite a unique event.

Anyone have the sauce recipe from the Garden’s Restaurant which the Pusateri family owned?
