Description
One of a cluster of small towns in the Deerfield River Valley, Shelburne Falls is located just west of Massachusetts Interstate 91. Here in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, scenic Route 2 highlights this string of charming towns along the historic Mohawk Trail.
The Village of Shelburne Falls, escaping a popular urban renewal trend of the 50s and 60s, successfully retained its eclectic mix of village shops and streets. The Deerfield River runs through the business district shared by Buckland and Shelburne. Once the center for water-powered industry and Native salmon fishing, the Salmon Falls area is one of the sceneic attraction in the town center. Salmon Falls, named by area Natives, was once known for hunting and fishing. The villages brags that everything is within walking distance of the town center and hopes that visitors enjoy the falls, village shops and art galleries.
