The Flynt Center of Early New England Life

Historic Deerfield's 27,000 square foot Flynt Center of Early American Life has dramatically enhanced public access to the museum's nationally acclaimed decorative arts collections. Set back from the village street at the edge of a pumpkin field, and in line with several 19th century barns, the Flynt Center is fully accessible to all visitors with a dramatic entrance into a lobby that leads to exhibition galleries.

Designed by C. Anthony Junker of the Philadelphia architectural firm of Ueland Junker McCauley, and built by Turner Construction Company of Boston, the Flynt Center has become a popular destination for Deerfield visitors of all ages.
