Greenfield has arrived at a crossroad. We are now at a choice point in relation to how we want to be community, with each other, with the region and with the planet. Choosing involves deciding and deciding involves discerning and clarifying the majority values.
In my former life as a family therapist, I spent time working with people to identify problems that stemmed from values and behaviors they had developed into patterns now outgrown, no longer useful or productive and wished to change but were having difficulty changing. In fact, most folks kept repeating the same behaviors hoping for different results. This has been said to be the definition of insanity. |

Greenfield Historical Commission News Greenfield Center, heart of this community, has a long and well-documented past. Imagine the 1770s when the Village Plan included 8-acre house lots along both sides of Main Street, 6 rods wide, the Road to Bernardston (High Street) at the east end, the Rev. Roger Newton's house and Samuel Bliss's house and store at the Common, and the Road to Deerfield, 12 rods wide, turning onto Mill Street which ended at the Green River grist mill. At Main Street's west end, the Coleraine-Shelburne Road ran over an old causeway north to Leyden. New information is still unearthed for places we pass every day, revealing their importance and reasons for preservation. |
