The bridge was originally built in 1908 as a trolley bridge. In 1929, it was converted into a pedestrian bridge, and in 1930, the Shelburne Falls Women's Club began planting flowers on the bridge. Over the years, the bridge has become a symbol of the town, and it's now one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area.

In addition to the flowers, you'll also enjoy the views of the Deerfield River below. The river is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing, and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The History of the Bridge

The Bridge of Flowers was originally built in 1908 as a trolley bridge. The trolley line ran from Shelburne Falls to Greenfield, and it was a popular way to get around the area. In 1929, the trolley line was discontinued, and the bridge was converted into a pedestrian bridge.

In 1930, the Shelburne Falls Women's Club began planting flowers on the bridge. The club wanted to beautify the town, and they thought that the flowers would make the bridge more inviting. The club has continued to plant flowers on the bridge every year since then, and the bridge has become a symbol of the town.

Planning Your Visit

The Bridge of Flowers is open to the public from May to October. The best time to visit is during the summer months, when the flowers are in full bloom. However, the bridge is also beautiful in the spring and fall, when the leaves are changing color.

There is no charge to visit the bridge, and it's a great place to spend an afternoon. You can walk across the bridge, enjoy the views, and take some pictures. You can also bring a picnic lunch and eat it on the bridge or in the nearby park.

The Bridge of Flowers is a must-see for any nature lover or romantic at heart. It's a beautiful place to visit, and it's a great way to experience the natural beauty of the Berkshires.
