Shelburne Museum

Huge museum and grounds. Can’t be done in one day luckily the ticket is good for two days. We only had one day so just hit the historic parts. Didn’t have thime for the art portion. The circus carvings were just amazing. Just so much to see at that one building. RR building and station in great condition. Wish we could go back. Highly recommend.

Very interesting and diverse museum! Something there for everyone, art, history, carousel, large machinery, to delicate and massive small statue carvings. Probably one of the most unique collections we have visited. Plan a full day at least for your visit. (There's a very good snack and sandwich bar on the grounds run by a catering service that takes pride in the food they prepare.) They also give you a second day if needed.

I was genuinely blown away with how intense this museum was. Though I am not a huge fan of museums, I did thoroughly enjoy roaming around the exhibits, though my dad had the most incredible time ever. This is a good all day, nice weather activity. I like the fact that most stuff is outside. I don't have much insight on the specific exhibits, but I did really enjoy the toy store exhibit.

Fascinating place to learn about American history. They transported entire buildings here in addition to artifacts in what feels like its own small town. Be aware that there is A LOT of walking here, but they do have shuttles if necessary. Regardless, wear comfortable sneakers. There is something for everyone here. Our kids (6,8 years old) loved the circus museum, the round barn full of old cars, the steamboat, and the school house. I loved all of the former along with the log cabin full of taxidermy big game, the lighthouse, the Wyeth and Grandma Moses paintings in the mansion. We were here for five hours and didn’t get to see everything. Could easily do two days here and split some time between the museum and Shelburne Farms. It’s a must see if you’re in Vermont, and many of the locals also recommended it. Bonus points for Fiddlehead Brewery being located right across the street, and beautiful surrounding views. Absolutely love it here.

We had an excellent time at the Shelburne Museum. We originally thought a couple of hours would be enough, but we ended up spending about four hours, including lunch at the café. The exhibits were both interesting and fun, offering a great way to learn about history. There were also plenty of opportunities for photography. Highly recommended!

Amazing Museum, a good place to visit with the whole family. It has a little bit of everything so everyone’s going to have a good time and I recommend visitors do take the whole day to experience this museum. Bonus points ante free apple picking when season is right. My toddlers had a blast.

Absolutely blast! Beautiful walk and we had great weather. The kids loved the boat and the old school house. Everything was really cool, especially the circus. I loved that you pay once and then everything is included, even the carousel! Will definitely recommend this one!

Amazing opportunity to take a walk back in time. Authentic buildings and artifacts that were moved to the museum so you are walking in an actual piece of history. Friendly staff and a shuttle service for those that do not want to make the walk or need a little help. The walk is a good one! We spent 4 hours touring the grounds. Decent restaurant that serves basic lunch, snack, ice cream and beverages. A couple of gift shops and several rest room facilities throughout the grounds. 100% worth the trip just plan on some walking and plan about 4-5 hours to really see it all.
