Windsor chairs cast long shadows across a worn brick floor in the firelit kitchen of the Dwight-Barnard House in Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts — a circa-1725 colonial interior so perfectly preserved it feels as though the family simply stepped outside for a moment in this warm and expertly photographed chrome-era postcard. The massive walk-in hearth dominates the back wall, its mantel lined with period glass bottles and iron implements, while a settee, tilt-top table, and Oriental carpet lend an unexpected air of refined comfort to what was also a working kitchen. Historic Deerfield, the scene of the devastating 1704 French and Native raid that claimed dozens of lives, has been meticulously restored since the mid-20th century as one of New England's premier living history museum streets.
