Shelburne, Massachusetts, USA (Shelburne Falls)
Bridge of Flowers, Shelburne Falls, Mohawk Trail
The bridge with its graceful arches was constructed in 1908 for trolleys to convey raw materials from the railroad yard in Buckland across the Deerfield River to the factories in nearby hill towns. As a concrete structure, it could bear heavy loads better than the iron bridge that it parallels.
In 1929, the abandoned trolley bridge was decorated with hundreds of flowers.
