Magoun Square

Trum Field, a park featuring baseball diamonds and basketball courts, is near Magoun Square, as is the headquarters of the Somerville Department of Public Works.

Magoun was an assessor for the town of Somerville, served on the school committee as an overseer of the poor, and was a captain in the militia.

His family owned a farm between Broadway and Vernon Streets and lived in the Adams-Magoun House, built circa 1783.

In 2009, the city requested and received $3 million in stimulus funding to improve the safety and accessibility of the crash-prone intersection.
