Shelburne Museum

I stumbled on this museum just by driving to the teddy bear factory, so I stopped, figuring it would be another small museum, but it covers about 45 acres! You could easily spend an entire day here. It also started as a carriage museum, but there is so much more. You culd really call it a museum city, with houses with art exhibits inside, barns, a train wth its own train station and even a ship! If you get tired of walking a bus will shuttle you around. They didn't give military discounts, so she gave me the teacher discount instead. I ran through the entire thing, and it still took several hours. This is Vermont' answer to the Smithsonian.
