Shelburne Museum - Shelburne, Vermont
| 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. When Barns Fly? |

| However, the story is not entirely true, despite the fact that many people believe and will stubbornly attest to the fact that they did indeed, see a barn flying over the Green Mountains of Vermont. What they actually saw was just the barn’s silo, which was the round core of the barn. A remarkable feat in itself but not nearly as grandiose as some believe! The Shelburne Museum even has a resident ghost hiding out at the Dutton House.
