Welcome!
Since 2021 the Nelson Legacy Project has been working to maintain the Deerfield, MA homestead of Juanita & Wally Nelson while spreading their message of peace and simple living. NLP creates educational materials, hosts visits for people of all ages, and provides speakers for events which have a connection to the Nelson's legacy of civil rights and peace activism, war tax refusal, subsistence farming, and simple living. We invite you to explore this website and connect with us to find out more about the Nelsons.

Check out our exciting new audio documentary!
The documentary is titled “Eyes on Freedom: Evolving Gifts of Simple, Nonviolent Living” and was produced by folklorists Carrie and Michael Nobel Kline along with production assistant Nicholas Boyer. The hour-long production, which the producers are calling an “audio tapestry,” weaves together voices of people who knew the Nelsons and who were influenced by them. It also includes vintage audio recordings of the Nelsons themselves.
