Locals talk

Ann Hamilton

My favorite things:
Duplicate bridge, water color painting, travel and my work!
I was born and raised in:
Massachusetts and spent my childhood in northern Vermont and Keene, NH.
I currently live in:
Greenfield, but my early married life was in Old Deerfield, and my family heritage is New England Yankee through and through.
How I earn my bread and butter:
President of Franklin County Chamber of Commerce since 1983. We are here to strengthen the local economy through the Franklin County business community, increase tourism, and grow jobs.
Five things I love about the Deerfield and Pioneer Valley area:
Blossoms in the spring; our clean air and clean water; genuine
people; the many choices of cultural activities; the authenticity of
small New England towns.
My favorite local hidden treasure you shouldn't miss:
The murals and exhibits in the Great Falls Discovery Center
