You won&#8217;t find any fabricated new shopping or housing developments, or historic properties moved in from somewhere else to force a historic look. You won&#8217;t come across any &#8220;historic buildings&#8221; built, say, in 2010, selling tacky t-shirts or obnoxious tourist trap souvenirs. Historic Deerfield Village, Mass., is the real deal, not just another stuffy, boring, overrated tourist trap that you&#8217;re expected to like.<\/p>\n<p>History doesn&#8217;t lie and that&#8217;s why Deerfield Village is such a true historic travel destination.The village dates back to 1669, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1962. What&#8217;s more 27,000 historical objects exist in the village&#8217;s collection, making Deerfield more than just a one-note historical town. There are simply no modern day obstructions to tip the scales into the unctuous, phony, revisionist side of historic travel. Deerfield Village truly reflects an authentic 18th century English settlement with historic museum houses, an impressive collection of early American crafts, ceramic, furniture, textiles and metalwork. The Village also features myriad family programs and interactive activities, special events and a gift shop.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnewengland.com\/PageMill_Resources\/Historic-Deerfield-Houses.jpg\" alt=\"Historic Deerfield buildings, Deerfield, Massachusetts.

Deerfield stands as one of the only eastern seaboard towns settled by English colonists that retains its original scale and town plan, according to the Historic Deerfield web site. What this means for the visitor is, for starters, touring 12 antique homes dating back between 1730 and 1850.<\/p>\n<p>The homes are wonderfully maintained with 11 of the home standing on the original sites. The tour includes the 1734 Ashley House, 1755 Sheldon House, 1848 Moors House, 1884 Deerfield Inn, Museum Gift Shop and Bookstore, 1750s Apprentice&#8217;s Workshop at Dwight House, Flynt Center of Early New England Life, 1824 Williams House, 1814 Sliver and Metalware Collection gallery, 1734 Allen House, 1799 Stebbins House, Cook&#8217;s Garden, 1760 Frary House, Memorial Libraries, and the 1747 Wells-Thorn House.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0542617997214413\" data-ad-slot=\"1076087538\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The town common &#8212; next to the famous Deerfield Academy boarding school &#8212; is a beautiful, if small, oasis.

The Deerfield Inn fits in quite nicely with the amazing historic New England scene of Old Deerfield with its freshly white painted, welcoming preserved structure, inviting front first and second floor porches, stately pillars, close-to-the-street presence with very little front lawn (typical on many historic New England main streets), and well-placed Adirondack-style chairs (OK, that wasn&#8217;t part of old-time America but it still looks nice!).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6423\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_6423\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1000px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6423 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn.jpg\" alt=\"Deerfield Inn, Deerfield MA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn-567x425.jpg 567w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/deerfield-inn-900x675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_6423\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Up close at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/us\/deerfield-inn-deerfield.en.html?aid=1284647&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\">Deerfield Inn<\/a> (photo by Eric)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Inside, the historical nuances and creaky nooks and crannies remain intact leading to 24 rooms (11 in the main building, 13 in the carriage house), and a restaurant and tavern open to the public for lunch and dinner (breakfast is included for inn guests). Although imperfect architecturally &#8212; so typical of old New England buildings &#8212; the Deerfield Inn keeps up to date with a fully restored look that does not compromise its innate charm and character. It really doesn&#8217;t fit into the price range of budget-friendly travel as put forth by this blog, but is certainly worth a visit as you won&#8217;t find too many existing historic inns and restaurants of this caliber, and ideal location, in the New England area. Right next to the Deerfield Inn is the village&#8217;s main retail anchor &#8212; the quaint, interesting and very likable Museum Gift Shop and Bookstore.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional thoughts on Historic Deerfield Village<\/h2>\n<p>On its own, the Deerfield Inn could suffice quite well as a standalone New England travel experience, but we strongly recommend getting in touch with the entire &#8220;Historic Deerfield.&#8221; It&#8217;s open year-round, is reasonably priced and the tour guides make the whole experience educational and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Before leaving town through the side south of Old Main St., please make a note of checking out the beautiful farm scene to the right of the fork where going left returns you to Route 5.
