Shelburne Museum - Shelburne, Vermont
Opening May 18, 2008
Shelburne Museum is probably the number one "must-see" attraction in the State of Vermont. Over the past decades, school field trips from all around the area have journeyed to this wonderful museum. The S. S. Ticonderoga and the adjacent Colchester Reef lighthouse are easily two of the most impressive attractions. The lighthouse was built in 1871, dismantled and moved to the Shelburne Museum in 1952.
The steamship S.S. Ticonderoga is a fully restored, side-wheel passenger steamer built in 1906 and moved to the Shelburne Museum grounds in 1955. When visiting the museum, you can buy a DVD or tape that shows the Ticonderoga's remarkable final journey from Lake Champlain to it's present location.
The Shelburne Museum even has a resident ghost hiding out at the Dutton House.

The Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building, built between 1960 and 1967, was constructed of new materials on its present site. Copied in part from a farmhouse in Orwell, Vermont, it is a fine example of fully developed Greek Revival architecture. The interior was designed to accommodate the replication of six rooms from Mr. & Mrs. J. Watson Webb's Manhattan apartment.
