Shelburne Museum is probably the number one "must-see" attraction in the State of Vermont. Over the past decades, school field trips from all around the area have journeyed to this wonderful museum. The Ticonderoga and the adjacent Colchester Reef lighthouse are easily two of the most impressive attractions. The lighthouse was built in 1871, dimsatled and moved to the Shelburne Museum in 1952. The steamboat Ticonderoga is a fully restored, side-wheel passenger steamer built in 1906 and moved to the museum grounds in 1955. When visiting the museum, you can buy a DVD or tape that shows the Ticonderoga's remarkable final journey from Lake Champlain to it's present location.

I am fortunate enough to live across the street from Shelburne Museum, so it's literally just a few steps away.
