Springtime at Shelburne Museum

Springtime at Shelburne Museum
Celebrate Mother’s Day with Shelburne Museum! Stroll through the grounds; listen to outdoor live music; sip on tea; join a gallery tour of the special exhibition In the Garden and a talk on the language of flowers by curator Kory Rogers; and get creative with spring art activities. Don’t forget to stop by the plant sale at the Museum Store to pick up a lovely gift for someone special!

And say hello to our special guest…walkaround Elmo!
