Flynt Silver & Metalware Collection.
Support scholarship and genealogical research. Scholars and genealogy enthusiasts support Deerfield for its library, a collection of 21,000 volumes and documents supporting Deerfield’s claim to be one of the most thoroughly documented small towns in the United States.
