We then drove up an hour to the Shelburne Museum, where we were having our rehearsal dinner in just a few hours. Again, not much to see in terms of party preparation, but we explored the museum for a while. The Shelburne probably has the best collection of Americana in the country, housed in a sprawling outdoor museum. About sixty historical buildings from around New England were moved to the museum, and then many of the buildings were used to house the collection.
