The historic layout and scale make walking and biking in Shelburne Falls easy. Shelburne Falls is a National Register Historic District, and local initiatives and zoning codes encourage the preservation of the village’s historic layout through adaptive reuse of historic structures. Shelburne Falls has been shaped and maintained by many proactive and positive planning initiatives involving both towns. The partnership fosters economic development, planning, and infrastructure and capital improvement projects. The towns' partner organization, the Greater Shelburne Falls Area Business Association - commonly called the Shelburne Falls Area Partnership - was established in 1995 in recognition of the importance of bridging the economies of Buckland and Shelburne. In 1999, a Buckland-Shelburne Master Plan was jointly completed, and collaborative planning has since been the approach to strengthening the local social, environmental, and economic resiliency.
Today, the preserved buildings are becoming a center for small businesses and remain an historical and architectural backdrop of the village. When European colonists came, Shelburne Falls became the site of the most productive salmon fishing in Massachusetts through the early 19th century, and water power was later harnessed for industry. History in the area dates to the Native Americans.
