The Shelburne Museum is located in Vermont's scenic Lake Champlain valley. The Shelburne Museum is one of the nation's finest, most diverse, and unconventional museums of art and Americana. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in a remarkable setting of 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds.

Impressionist paintings, folk art, quilts and textiles, decorative arts, furniture, American paintings, and a dazzling array of 17th-to 20th-century artifacts are on view. Shelburne is home to the finest museum collections of 19th-century American folk art, quilts, 19thand 20th-century decoys, and carriages.

High points for TCA members include the Ticonderoga (a 19thcentury side-wheeler steamboat,) a Central Vermont 10-wheeler steam locomotive and a Wagner Palace passenger car. There is an outstanding collection of railroad lanterns and a preserved Rutland RR station. In the Museum’s toy shop you will see a wonderful collection of toys from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The toy shop also holds an American Flyer exhibit to operate and view! (A. C. Gilbert was a hunting buddy of Electra Havemeyer Webb, the Museum’s founder!)

You will also want to visit the famous Vermont Teddy Bear Company in Shelburne, Vermont. Take the factory tour and see how these wonderful bears are made. This visit will be your opportunity to purchase a special convention engineer teddy bear available only at the factory! Don’t miss out!
