Discover the Village of Shelburne Falls

The essence of small-town New England charm

Shelburne Falls is the name of the village that hugs the banks of the Deerfield River, which forms the border (or the gathering place!) between the towns of Shelburne and Buckland.

The Village is not just a picturesque small town, it's a thriving cultural, creative, and business community that serves as a kind of hub for the ten rural towns of western Franklin County (West County) in western Massachusetts.

The Village, first settled in 1756, was once a water-powered mill town that manufactured cutlery and tools. Today, the artisan tradition lives on in our many studios and maker spaces.

The World-famous Bridge of Flowers


This gorgeous garden, built on a former trolley bridge, spans the Deerfield River and connects the towns of Shelburne and Buckland.

The Bridge of Flowers is closed until 2025 for renovations, but the Shelburne Falls area is "still one of the best destinations to visit in 2024", according to the Boston Globe.

Why We're Worth the Visit

Village Attractions


Step back in time and ride the actual trolley car that rolled across the bridge at the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum.  Or try old-fashioned candlepin bowling at the Shelburne Falls Bowling Alley - the second-oldest in the United States.

Go way, way back and visit the glacial-era potholes formed in the river bedrock.
