Deerfield: Now and Then

In recognition of the Town of Deerfield’s 350th anniversary, this exhibit shows the town’s changes over time.  Historic photos from the PVMA collection of scenes throughout Deerfield have been recreated, with the help of students from Frontier Regional High School.  Each tells an individual story of transformation over time.  Taken together, they show a town developing and growing while preserving its past.

 

May 2023 - Present

Francis & Mary Allen

No one did as much to define Deerfield’s image as Francis and Mary Allen, who took to photography after becoming deaf in their 30s. In the process, the Allen Sisters became widely recognized as two of the most influential and accomplished women in early photography.

 

May 2021 - Present

A Tale of Two Fiddles

By contrasting an historical depiction of Black performers to the lived experience of one contemporary Black musician and entrepreneur, we can see how perception and reality diverged from one another and left lasting impacts on the ways we view issues of race today.
