Shelburne usually boasts the phrase “A People Place– A Change of Pace”,
truer words were never spoken. Shelburne transports you back to a time
when all food was home cooked and music was a celebration to share with
everyone. This charming town lights up during August for the Old Time
Fiddle Contest and parade, where locals and visitors tap, stomp, and hum
along to the sounds of fiddlers from all across North America.
In Shelburne you can take a step back in history with the old Town Hall,
which has been restored and contains Grace Tipling Hall a wonderfully
entertaining antique theatre. Also, just around the corner is the old
Shelburne Post Office (which is now a fabulous antique store), the restored
original library, and also Jelly House, where entrepreneurs, hotel owners,
and brothers William and John Jelly resided. Shelburne also contains
spectacular natural areas as well. |
