Shelburne Attractions 
Shelburne, 3 mi. south of Burlington, is well worth a visit for the sake of the Shelburne Museum alone. This large and unusual open-air museum is a reconstruction of an old village with all its buildings and services, including a railroad station and a paddle steamer. And if that is not enough, insight into rural life and practices can be gleaned at Shelburne Farms.
Shelburne (pop. 6,000) was settled in the late 1700s. Many of the local shops are located in restored buildings from that period.
