City Description

Shelburne Falls is a census-designated place (CDP) in the towns of Shelburne and Buckland in Franklin County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 1,951 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. Notable features include the Bridge of Flowers, a former trolley bridge over the Deerfield River that is now maintained by the Shelburne Falls Women's Club as a floral display from April through October; and the glacial potholes of the Deerfield River. Bill and Camille Cosby are well known and admired residents of the area, though they keep a relatively low profile. The downtown is alive and well, including an independently-owned pharmacy with a soda fountain, one coffeeshop, several restaurants, two pizza joints, a bookstore, a newsstand, a grocery store, a whole foods store, and the candlepin Shelburne Falls Bowling Alley, accessible via a narrow (and nearly secret) alleyway. (update on the alley - the old Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters building burned down in 2007. You can now clearly see the Bowling alley. There's also a new coffee shop in town although it's under different ownership.) Two community newspapers -- the
