Shelburne-Falls
is the business district shared by the towns of Shelburne and Buckland in northwestern Massachusetts. It's a separate census-designated place with a population of about 2,000. Shelburne Falls is known for the Bridge of Flowers, a unique attraction that is visited by more than 35,000 people each year. The "bridge" is a former trolley bridge over the Deerfield River that is maintained by the Shelburne Falls Women's Club as a floral display. All fifty states are represented on the Bridge of Flowers, as well as many foreign countries and islands. It's open April through October. Other attractions include the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum and the Glacial Potholes. Almost everything is within walking distance and the village is a vibrant mix of restaurants, pizza parlors, bookstands, art galleries and even an old-fashioned pharmacy with a soda fountain. Bill and Camille Cosby are well-known, but extremely private residents who keep a low profile. Shelburne Falls is located on the historic Mohawk Trail, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Berkshires. The village of Shelburne Falls saw a revitalization in the 1980s and 1990s and maintains its' downtown area, which is quickly earning a reputation as a vital arts community.

Shelburne Falls Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid. There is a large seasonal temperature variance in central Massachusetts, because places further inland do not have the moderating influence of the ocean. West-central Massachusetts has colder winters and cooler summers than areas along the coast. Summer thunderstorms are common, on average about 30 per year. Nor-easters (winter storms with winds coming from the Northeast) can drop a foot or more of snow. In summer, central Massachusetts is slightly more humid than the coast. In autumn, the air becomes crisp and sunny days bring bright and colorful foliage to the dense forests.
