Exhibitions

The Flynt Center of Early New England Life at Historic Deerfield dramatically enhances public access to the museum’s nationally acclaimed decorative arts collections through exhibitions and visible storage. Set back from the village street at the edge of a field, and in line with several 19th-century barns, the Flynt Center is fully accessible to all visitors throughout the day.
