FLYNT CENTER OF EARLY NEW ENGLAND LIFE
Historic Deerfield, Inc.
Deerfield, MA
The Flynt Center is a new, state-of-the-art museum facility in Historic Deerfield, a museum village focused on the conservation and interpretation of Early American architecture and decorative arts with particular interest in the Connecticut River Valley. The museum design started off with a comprehensive programming and site selection study. Its location in a farm field, relationship with nearby historic barns, and harmony with the overall Connecticut River Valley setting were all features unique to the overall design. The final building design includes exhibition galleries, a study-storage, seminar rooms, curatorial laboratories, and staff offices.
