Deerfield in Franklin County, Massachusetts — The American Northeast (New England)
Deerfield
1673 - 1973
Sentinel stalks of Indian corn
Still guard the Meadow of our world:
The sad silence of grass-grown graves
A frontier home on the falling ridge
And a cold gray February dawn.
All of America has lived here.
