This is such a wonderful historic experience to have. Definitely a place to bring your family as well. My husband and I walked all along the street with all the beautiful old houses, we visited this gorgeous farm walking trail & saw the happiest, galloping, playful cows 🐄🐃 they were definitely my favorite part. We also visited this very pretty, ancient cemetery on the top of an old hill,overlooking the high-school playing field. Definitely a must see

If you are into historic houses this is the place to visit in Massachusetts. Did a few tours of the homes and the guides were fantastic.

Wife is the family genealogist and wanted to track down the story of her seventh generation Grandmother, Hannah Stebbins as one of the 47 people to pass during the Indian/French Raid. John Sheldon is her same generation Grandfather. The historical area was abundant in answers as many museums, burial grounds and more gave us a taste of an important time. The preservation of artifacts, sites, homesteads, buildings and more was amazing! THANKS OLD DEERFIELD!!!

Quaint little historic village with an Inn and Restaurant and antique store… all intermingled into historic homes and the well-known prep school. The tour guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI is impossible to beat in this genre, but this was a nice sojourn.
