Shelburne packs a lot into a small village — a 39-building art museum, a 1,400-acre working farm, a Saturday market on the Parade Grounds, an 1830s general store, award-winning food, spirits, and shops, and Lake Champlain at the bottom of the hill. Below are the categories visitors usually plan around, plus a few curated itineraries — some from us, some from other guides.
