Bridge of Flowers & Glacial Potholes of Shelburne Falls
Bridge of Flowers & Glacial Potholes of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. The Bridge of Flowers was once a trolley bridge built in 1908 by the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway. As the nearby Iron Bridge had only a 20-ton weight limit, the five-span, 400-foot concrete arched trolley bridge, connecting the towns of Shelburne and Buckland, was constructed to help deliver heavy freight from the Shelburne Falls railyard to the mills on the 7 1/2-mile line along Route 112 North to Colrain, as well as passengers and local goods, such as milk, apples and cotton.
The trolley was a social and commercial connection to area residents at that time. The railway company, however, was unable to keep up with progress, such as the invention of the automobile, as goods began to be hauled by truck and the company eventually went bankrupt in 1927. The railway's treasured history is maintained by the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum.

apibestinclass.com Bridge of Flowers and Falls Shelburne Falls is home to the world-famous Bridge of Flowers, which attracts more than 35,000 visitors a year, as well as the Glacial Potholes, a curiously beautiful rock formation. The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum celebrates the village's transportation heritage. Glacial Potholes began to form after the last glacier age when the Deerfield River first started to flow over these rocks, about 14,000 years ago. The formation of these river-eroded features thanks to the great glacial lake, Lake Hitchcock, that filled the Connecticut Valley and also extended into the lower Deerfield Valley. While Shelburne Falls was not under Lake Hitchcock, it was under the sediments of the Deerfield River that built a delta into the lake. Lake Hitchcock drained by 14,000 years ago. The Deerfield River was then able to cut downward into its delta sediments. During this erosive process, which continues today, the river found itself on top of the gneiss bedrock and could start eroding holes in the hard gneiss

Mohawk Trail: Greenfield & Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts Dash Cam
This drive begins in tiny Erving, Massachusetts, and follows Mass. Route 2 westbound, at times into the evening sun. Highlights along the way include downtown Greenfield and Shelburne Falls, home of the Glacial Potholes and Bridge of Flowers. One note: due to a detour, there's a jump in the video around 2:55 -- just assume that I took the exit. The video picks up at the bottom of that ramp, still on Mass. 2.

Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls | Connecting Point | Sept. 10, 2018
Built as a trolley bridge in 1908, the bridge that spans the Deerfield River between the towns of Shelburne Falls and Buckland was converted to the Bridge of Flowers in 1929 after the railway went out of business. In 1983, it was completely renovated, at a cost of a half-million dollars, under the expertise of a local horticulturalist and several volunteers. The Bridge of Flowers blooms annually from April to October, Connecting Point’s Dave Fraser visited the Bridge during its peak season and brings us the story.
