Deerfield was a frontier village in New England in the late 17th century. It was subjected to many raids from the French and native Americans. Historic Deerfield was founded by Henry and Helen Flint in 1936 when they visited their son at the Deerfield Academy. Its primary objectives are to preserve the old town of Deerfield and the history of the Connecticut River Valley. There are 11 houses built in the 1700s situated along the main street which is over 330 years old. The area has been designated a National Heritage Landmark District. There are scheduled guided tours, demonstrations, exhibitions and seminars to entertain and inform visitors.
