"Deerfield, Massachusetts, founded in 1669, is a rural village in the Connecticut River Valley whose mile-long main street is lined with beautiful old houses. Built by prosperous farmers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many of the houses are now either part of Historica Deerfield's chain of house museums or are owned by members. The museum houses, which are open to the public, are treasure-houses of American paintings, furniture, silver, ceramics, and many other types of antiques." (dj) This book also includes a detailed account of the Flynt family's integral role in Deerfield's founding and restoration, begun in the 1930s.
