Menchin
(Menchin Farm, Woburn - about 1898)
The Menchin Farm House was built in 1760 by David Johnson and is said to have been used as a hospital during the American Revolution. The original lands surrounding the Farm House at one time was calculated to be approximately 100 acres, used mostly for farming and haying and included some woodlands. The land was farmed for Market gardening and the fruits of that labor usually went to Boston Market twice daily, until a decrease in farming came about. As a result of decreased farming, the land was gradually sold for house lots and now only a few acres remain on "Menchin's Hill" with original members of the Menchin family. "Menchin's Hill" on local maps is now listed as "Zion's Hill" and is the highest point in Woburn, being 325 feet above sea level.
The original spelling of the name "Menchin" was "Minchin", and is still used in the records at City Hall; and a new street bearing that name is now on part of the original land.
