We spent a couple of hours at Shelburne Farms this morning, taking a last look. Then we drove a little over a mile to Shelburne Museum.
Now the funny thing is I think we went to Shelburne Museum in 1983, the only time we have been to Vermont. Jackie does not think we have been here. But I have a vivid memory of the Ticonderoga steam ship, which can only be seen at this museum. Emily? Julia? Either of you remember??
When I get home I will look through photo books....if I can find them.
Anyway, Shelburne is like Midway Village or Old World Wisconsin. There is a tie in to Shelburne Farms, because the same family started both. They were pretty rich.
Here are some pictures from today....some are even in focus!!
