There are several great attractions in the area. We stopped by the Shelburne Orchards (216 Orchard St) for some cider donuts and fresh picked apples. You can pick them yourself if you wish. The Shelburne Museum is a full days worth of marvelous historical buildings, folk art, furnishings and learning all for $25 (AAA discount in addition). There is a cafe on site with great lunch options. Make reservations in advance for a tour of the house and gardens with a nice tea to follow at the marvelous Inn at Shelburne Farms, home to one of the Vanderbilt’s, on Lake Champlain. You will get more than your $25 dollars worth.

The town of Shelburne, Vermont, was chartered in 1763 and enjoyed its greatest period of agricultural and industrial development between 1880 and 1910. Today, Shelburne's most popular attraction is tourism. The Shelburne Village Historic District encompasses the central portion of the main village. Centered on the junction of U.S. Route 7 with Harbor and Falls Roads, the district's architecture traces the town's history from the 18th to the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Start at the Visitor Center and study the history of the town. Benjamin Harrison, an early settler, owned and farmed the land where the village is located He laid out the stagecoach route between Rutland and Burlington, now roughly U.S. Route 7, in the 1790s and built the Shelburne Inn. Thanks to the philanthropy of the Shelburne Museum's founders, William Seward Webb and Electra Havemeyer Webb, the town has thrived and become a major tourist attraction in New England. The historic district covers 74 acres and includes many historic buildings, including the 1796 Shelburne Inn, the oldest surviving structure in the district, as well as several Federal style houses and three churches.

You just have to park your car, which Church Street is my recommendation and walk, bring a camera of some sorts walk down Falls road and just look, history everywhere! Shelburne Village is Historic no matter what part of it you are in, that's just my opinion, but I am grateful to call it home. Don't forget to check out Jamie Two Coats toy store and get some Maple candy and creemee at the Shelburne Country store!
