Deerfield is a pioneer town in Franklin County, Massachusetts, near the Connecticut River. It was settled in the colonial era and was the most northwest outpost of New England. The villagers came under fire from both the French and the native American tribes in the area. In the raid on Deerfield, scores were killed and more than 100 taken captive. They were marched over 300 miles to Montreal. Ransom trading was lucrative in that era and the captives were redeemed. Heritage tourism brings in much revenue. Historic Deerfield museums and houses accurately depict the history of the town.
