For our Architectural Conservation class, we spent two days out at the museum at Shelburne Farms learning all about how they care for their 60-odd buildings and the artifacts in them. Mrs. Webb, who owned the property, was a collector of buildings and would buy them and move them to Shelburne to put her "collections" in -- she had hundreds of really creepy dolls. The kinds you would expect to pivot and stare at you. There are also a couple dozen carriages, a great selection of paintings, and an exhibit of time travel and steampunk related artifacts :)
Some of the grounds.
The time machine from The Time Machine -- better know in the Peterson household as the time machine from that Big Bang Theory episode.
The Ticonderoga -- a National Historic Landmark.
We even got to ride the carousel!!
Elephants made of reclaimed materials.
