Welcome to Shelburne Falls, Ma
The Village of Shelburne Falls consist of two towns (Buckland and Shelburne) that are connected by an iron bridge along a river's edge just above the Salmon Falls and by the world-renowned Bridge of Flowers. The American Planning Association selected Shelburne Falls as one of the top 15 places to live in America. The Bridge of Flowers was once an arched trolley bridge and was transformed to a beautiful bridge of magnificent gardens, blooming profusion from spring to fall. Of geological interest are the Glacial Potholes, located below Salmon Falls. The falls so named after the silvery salmon, who years ago tirelessly navigated this river each spring, passed the potholes and leaped up the steep falls to their ancient spawning grounds. Shelburne Falls is located off of the famous and historic Mohawk Trail and 15 minutes west of I-91.
