There’s even an heirloom vegetable garden. Seriously, I wonder if they would notice if I just moved in?

The Shelburne Museum is nice, but even better is Shelburne Farms. If you didn’t hit it up when you were in the area, it is worth a trip back there in the future.

I agree! (except you’ll then want to move to a gorgeous farm STAT — it’s so lovely there!)

We love this museum, too! You could seriously spend a week there, with so much variety and beauty. Readers should know that that is a bonafide steamship at the museum. It is huge and it’s smack dab in the middle of the museum grounds (it was transported from Lake Champlain rolled on logs)!
Another awesome museum in Vermont is Billing Farm — I’d highly recommend as well.

I love that area! Go to Shelburne Farm if you get a chance!!

I live in South Burlington, just a few miles from the museum. I’ve scoured through the museum and found a lot to enjoy. The painting you have shown is a Grandma Moses. She was beloved by the people, though the critics didn’t like her art while she was alive. Vermont has always had much art and culture to enjoy!

I think looking at old stuff like that is cool. But then, I just finished watching Pioneer Quest on Hulu. In fact, I own the video tapes (bought them off PBS or history channel, or wherever). Tried to donate them, as I don’t have a VCR, but nobody else wants them either!!
I also watched Outback house before that.

My best friend worked there for a bit while doing grad work for art restoration. Amazing museum! Burlington is great, too. And don’t forget to tour Ben & Jerry’s while in VT. Cuz you know, ice cream
I just left a clients house in Gig Harbor; you’re missing a nice day back here 🙂
