Dear Antiquer,
Historic Deerfield looks forward to welcoming you and ADA back for another great antiques show over Columbus Day Weekend 2009 at Deerfield Academy. Many of us think that the ADA Historic Deerfield Antiques Show is the best in New England, but please come and judge for yourself!

This year we will be "sweetening" up our celebration on Saturday, October 10, with American Heritage Chocolate. Feast on a menu of special chocolate-infused-treats as well as traditional New England favorites starting at 6 p.m. Enjoy made-to-order chocolate truffles as well as musicians playing period music.

For reservations, contact 413-775-7179, or events@historicdeerfield.org .

A new exhibition on view at the
Flynt Center of Early New England Life this fall is entitled "Hadley Sampler: An Anniversary Celebration." While there, be sure to visit: "Celebrating the Fiber Arts: The Helen Geier Flynt Textile Gallery", “Engraved Powder Horns from the French and Indian War and the American Revolution: The William H. Guthman Collection,” and "Into the Woods: Crafting Early American Furniture."

We hope that you will find the time to tour our museum houses. Private, customized Tours-by-Appointment can be scheduled by contacting Nancy Bell at (413) 774-5581 or tours@historic-deerfield.org. And for fine dining , please consider Champney's Restaurant & Tavern at the Deerfield Inn for reservations (413) 774-5587, frontdesk@deerfieldinn.com, or online at www.deerfieldinn.com.

We think "all roads lead to Deerfield," and we hope that you will come to town this fall!
