This is a wonderful museum....we spent over 4 hours there and wished we could have gone back the next day since that is possible with your admission ticket. So many different exhibits....and in each building there was someone there to explain the history, contents, etc....We rode the carousel....haven't done that in MANY years !! Favorites were the locomotive, the Ticonderoga,... more

If you are near Burlington VT, visit the Shelburne for an outstanding collection of American material culture, including buildings, boats, a lighthouse, and a wide variety of folk art and everyday things. Go early and you will enjoy touring before crowds arrive. more

This was the most interesting museum I have ever been to. The founder was a collector of stuff and many of the buildings included her collections--everything from carousel animals to dolls to china to glass canes. They also host traveling exhibits. When we went there were exhibits of motorcycles, Tiffany glass and jewlery and modern art. The museum also includes... more

What a great museum to visit for the entire family. They give you two days for the price of one and you will need it. I can't imagine doing it in one day. We made it through 20 of the buildings the first day and finished it the next. more

Shelburne Museum is one of the best museums I have ever visited... The grounds are spectacular... There are numerous buildings that you can tour & are dated back as far as the 16th or 17th century, all furnished with that eras furnishings. There is an old jail cell, a lighthouse, a boat (The Ticonderoga), museum, covered bridge and a horse... more

A large eclectic museum of americana set in lovely grounds. To do the place justice most of a day is needed. Where else do you get to see a steam paddle boat and a Tiffany exhibition? more

The Shelburne Museum gives the visitor a look into the American past with its collection of early American homes, art and treasured collections. Each exhibit we visited had very knowlegeable guides who gave us the history behind the collections.Be sure to allow at least four hours and don't miss the Ticonderoga. more

We went especially to see the Full Throttle: Vintage Motorcycles, Custom Choppers and Racing Machines. However, the Tommy Graves “Smackdown” chopper on the brochure really sparked our interest. Unfortunately, that bike was in Webb Hall and the doors were locked. That was a disappointment. It was a rainy day and there were a number of school groups on a field... more

It's hard to do this place justice in writing. It's simply the best museum, or should I say collection of museums/attractions, that I've been to in all my 15 years of independent travel. We couldn't begin to even see half of it in the two days that our tickets covered, and I'll be heading straight back there next time we're... more
