The Town of Deerfield is an historic rural suburban center on the primary
corridor between Northampton and Greenfield in the Connecticut River
Valley. It was the earliest community settled in Franklin County. Because
of its strategic location, the town was subjected to repeated attacks from
French and Indian forces through the early 18th century and was actually
abandoned during King Philip's war. In 1704, a combined French and Indian
force attacked the town, which then consisted of 250 residents and about
15-20 colonial soldiers. Forty-seven residents were killed and 112 were
captured and taken to Canada. An outstanding collection of houses survives
from this period, some preserving the hatchet and bullet scars from the
battle.
The early Deerfield economy was built on tobacco and cucumbers, pickle
factories and the manufacture of pocketbooks, but a major economic force in
the community has been the private schools. Deerfield is host to Deerfield
Academy, the Eaglebrook School and the Bement School. The town is also the
site of a major craft fair each year which brings in over 250 selected
exhibitors and is considered to be one of the most important craft fairs in
the northeast. The town's museum offers 19 exhibit rooms and many concerts
throughout the season. Visitors are able to tour 13 of the historic
residences in the town.
Northwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Greenfield on the north, the Connecticut
River on the east, Montague and Sunderland, Whatley on the south, and Conway and
Shelburne on the west. Deerfield is 8 miles from Greenfield, 12 miles from
Northampton, 48 miles from North Adams, 99 miles from Boston, 162 miles from New
York City.
