Places to stay in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts

• Other Massachusetts locations ..

Shelburne is the place where the first Yale locks were manufactured. Be on the lookout for a church with a white steeple. You've probably seen it many times before in pictures of New England; it's considered the standard. Near here is the Little Mohawk Road, which will take you to the Patten District with spectacular views. You'll find good hikes around Mt. Massamet, High Ledges and Wilcox Hollow.

Shelburne is perhaps best known for the Bridge of Flowers, which is actually in the hamlet of Shelburne Falls. In 1929 some enterprising local gardeners decided the town's abandoned trolley bridge (by this time the Age of the Auto is well under way) could use some dressing up. Today, 500 species of flowers bloom from spring to fall. Down-river, glacial potholes in the smooth bedrock make for popular sunning and swimming spots during the summer.
