Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Most people who live in Sunderland today are probable unaware that some of the best folk art paintings that hang in many of America's greatest museums were painted right here in Sunderland. Those who travel Route 116 through the South end of town towards Amherst pass right by the long lost studio of itinerant painter Erastus Salisbury Field. Crossing the bridge over Long Plain Brook, on the left is Hubbard hill road. It is here, dug into the hillside, in a crude studio made of stone and lined with boards, Field painted some of his best works. Paintings done by Field can be found in numerous collections of some of America's finest museums. Several Earth coast museums include Historic Deerfield; Mead Art Museum; Amherst College; Brown Art Center at Smith College; Mount Holyoke College Museum of Art; Springfield Museum of Fine Arts; Worcester Art Museum; Danforth Museum, Framingham Ma; Boston Museum of Fine Art; Bennington, VT Museum; Shelburn,VT. Museum, The Rhode Island School of Design Museum; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; The National Gallery, Washington D.C.; and Colonial Williamsburg; Virginia. Few other artists are as widely accepted as Field is so quintessentially exemplifying their genre. Recently in 2000, a Madison Avenue, New York City art dealer offered one of three known renditions of Field's "Garden of Eden" for sale at $95,000. Erastus Field was born in Leverett in 1805, though he lived in many different places in New England, as well as in New York City, where he took painting lessons from Samuel F.B. Morse. At age 50, being widowed and having to care for his aging father, he moved to a now lost house on Plumtree Road in Sunderland. The house owned by his cousin, the nearby Inn-keeper, Caleb Hubbard. Field, like many of his cousins, was a farmer, though painting was his life-long ambition, it provided him with supplemental income. During his early years, Field painted mostly portraits. But by the mid 19th century photography was becoming popular, thus rendering portrait painters obsolete. Erastus then turned to painting landscapes and biblical scenes. Some were of local subjects such as Leverett Pond and Rattlesnake gutter. Often, Field would include a view of the Mt. Holyoke range in places where it did not exist, such as the North end of Leverett Pond. Perhaps this added sales appeal to his quickly done works. Field painted until his death in 1900 at age 95. Many of his paintings were lost to obscurity. In the last fifty years, many paintings have come to light being eagerly sought after by collectors.

According to Carol Conn of Connecticut Country Antiques, before the arrival of the Europeans, members of the Iroquois nation (six tribes, Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga and Tuscarora) were skilled at moosehair embroidery on birchbark. (see Birchbark purse) By the middle of the 18th century, the British were actively seeking “Indian curios” and the Iroquois started making items to sell in order to help them support their families. By the 19th century, after land appropriations and loss of trade opportunities, Iroquois began selling beaded work that would appeal to tourists – pincushions, picture frames, match holders, boxes, purses and trinkets – to sell at Niagara Falls, state fairs, train stations, and public events. They were hugely collectible. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Probably Iroquois.

Description An account of the resource Elliot David Puffer was born in Sunderland on the 21st day of August 1847. He lived on the family farm on what is present day Reservation road. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Massachusetts 34th regiment, being mustered in on December 30, 1863. He served during the war and was captured at Salem Virginia on the 15th of May 1864. While imprisoned at Andersonville Georgia he was tortured and starved, eventually dying of scurvy on the 12th of November 1864. He is buried at Andersonville National cemetery Georgia.
