Opened in 1999, this transformed factory complex features 200,000 square feet of art, culture, and performance space, often described as "a cultural factory for the 21st century."

The Bridge of Flowers, in Shelburne Falls, is a five-arch concrete bridge spanning the Deerfield River. Abandoned by the trolley line in 1928, the bridge was converted to a beautiful garden pathway by Gertrude Newall and the Shelburne Falls Womens Club in 1929. The bridge and garden underwent a half-million-dollar renovation in 1983, including a new design by horticulturist, Carrolle Markle. Truly one of a kind, more than 30,000 people stroll across the bridge each year.
