Welcome to the Pioneer Valley
If you are a visitor to the Pioneer Valley, we hope you will take time to enjoy its many attractions. Our famous scenery is enhanced by the pageant of changing seasons, climaxed by the spectacle of autumn color. Marvelous views are available from the peaks of the Holyoke Range and from Mt. Sugarloaf in South Deerfield.The five colleges of Hampshire County provide many cultural events and exhibits. Historic Old Deerfield displays colonial architecture and artifacts. Agriculture fairs bear witness to the rural life that still dominates the area.
Recreational facilities abound and dinosaur tracks may be seen in ancient river beds. Where you are interested in the scene, historic, cultural, or recreational, you will surely find much to your liking in our beautiful valley.
