Surrounded by hills in Franklin County, Massachusetts, Shelburne Falls is not just an ordinary town in New England. Brimming with a historic trolley bridge built in 1908, but turned into a unique place of flowers in 1929. The history of Glacier potholes, formed 14,000 years ago, is not just interesting to see but to feel this archaeological gem. The old historic buildings, quaint shops, bakeries, bookstores, art galleries, and antiques make a day trip definitely worthwhile. It would be wonderful if you visit this area without the restriction of any season, with spring blooming, summer bringing rain, or fall offering crisp autumn leaves in each season.  Bridges of flowers connect the town of Shelburne and Buckland. Walking on the bridges of flowers is a blissful experience. Walking amidst flowers and trees overlooking the Deerfield River and mountains is something that everyone can enjoy.  Glacier potholes are located a few feet from the bridges of Flower, downstream from the S...
