The Colonial
architecture along the mile long street is testimony to the conviction of the first
inhabitants to thrive and prosper. A walking tour teaches about colonial architecture and
15 houses host interior tours with historic artifacts, decor and seasonal demonstrations.
In winter, weekend chamber music concerts take place in the Federated Church. |

The simplicity of Old Deerfield makes this a
favored destination. Much of the architecture is original to the town, although some
structures were moved here from surrounding areas to protect and restore them. |
