<p>leanid: yes indeed, Deerfield has a lot of history. There are many tourists walking around town and the school.</p>
<p>From DA, Greenfield is the closest ‘city’ (more like a small town), but there are a ton of restaurant and shopping choices just to the south, even a Whole Foods in Hadley. UMASS, Amherst College, and a few other schools are nearby and thus there are a ton of dining and hotel options. We are not strangers to New Hampshire but feel SPS more isolated than DA. Not neccessarily a negative, as some kids are looking for a place with more isolation.</p>
