Better late than never. Even though we've been home for several weeks, I have not gotten around to sharing our time at Shelburne. We had anticipated spending just a day there, but went back for another half day and still did not see all we wanted to see. Shelburne Museum is a museum of art, design, and Americana located in Shelburne, Vermont. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds. It is located on 45 acres near Lake Champlain.
Some random pictures.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Museums are the best. I just love those stairs risers and the stories they tell.
Next time maybe you can plan a longer stay.
Thanks for sharing.
