Why are we driving two hours east of Boston today to a tiny Mayberry-esque town called Shelburne Falls? To see Glacial Pot Holes and the World Famous Bridge of Flowers, of course.
Even though it is "world famous" we had never heard of it. Originally built in 1908 to carry trolleys back and forth between Shelburne and Buckland, the 400 foot, five arch concrete span was converted in 1929 to a pathway. Now over 30,000 visitors from all over the world visit the world famous Bridge of Flowers each year. The bridge is adorned with decorative vines, shrubs and over 500 varieties of plants and flowers....and lots of bees!
