A Place to Call Home Since 1766
The Museum
Discover Deerfield's Rich Heritage Spanning Centuries. The exhibits date from the founding of Deerfield in 1766 and wind us through the decades, encompassing wars, the hay day of the Tavern, societies that came together to help neighbors, one man's affliction for stealing spoons and lives well lived.
None of this would be possible without the generous endowment of Mr. Bill O'Neal and the in depth research and documentation by Mrs. Joanne Wasson. The museum is their legacy.
