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.
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.
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.
Visitors can explore numerous art and crafts galleries and studios throughout the village and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Shelburne Falls while savoring a variety of dishes at local eateries.
Many organizations and groups host annual family-friendly fairs and festivals celebrating rural life and the turning seasons, local history, and the arts - both beautiful and practical - in Shelburne Falls and our surrounding hilltowns.
