Super museum, just love their exhibits. My favorite was the gardens, especially the maps describing the plantings. Dont skip the circus building.

Lots of room to explore. A great place to visit with kids. If they get antsy in one area you can just keep moving.

I am a third grade teacher and bring my students here every year. I have been to the museum at least 15 times and each time find something new I didnt see before. I have my favorites too, and would not think of missing the fine artwork in the Webb house! The Monets and Degas are breathtaking! It is easily an all day visit, and you will still not see it all.

Fascinating structure that is part of the shelburne museum. Easy to drive by and see or walk to on street without paying the admission, but then you would miss out on the great exhibits at the rest of the museum!

This is a collection of early american houses and buildings, including a lighthouse that was in service on Lake Champlain, a church, a covered bridge, train station with train, and especially a huge steamboat that also was in service on Lake Champlain. There are extensive collections of quilts, household utensils and furnishings and artwork as well. Allow a full day to do it justice.

This is part of a large museum known a the Smithsonian of New England. Loads of history here and buildings. The Ticonderoga, a steamship that traveled the waters of Lake Champlain. This was so much fun and very easy to find.

Review №47

Had alot of old buildings and items. Wonderful history lesson on all types of items..decoys, dolls, buggies and wagons, drugs and herbals, general store merchandise. Has an authentic riverboat and a train. Little expensive I thought and not all if it was handicap accessible.

Why this is listed separate from the Shelburne Museum is beyond me, but if youre looking for a covered bridge, you found one. Its pretty big and well made. As far as covered bridges go, this is certainly on the nice end. Plus, its in a decent museum to check out as well.

Br
Review №49

Amazing bridge. One can totally walk from one end of it to the other. And even back! And its covered so the rain stays of your head. What will they think of next?Seriously, its one of the many pieces of early American architecture preserved at the Shelburne Museum.
