Shelburne Farms
The heirs to no small sum of William Henry Vanderbilt’s railroad fortune built this sumptuous, grand estate along the shores of Lake Champlain in 1886 as a model farm. Today, the property stretches for more than 3,800 acres, of which some 1,400 make up a working farm designed by the father of modern landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmstead (designer of Central Park and Golden Gate Bridge Park). Now a nonprofit educational center, Shelburne offers walking trails, an inn, restaurant, tours, and courses on sustainability.
