Shelburne is a beautiful and charming town that, along with Buckland, shares the downtown business and cultural district of Shelburne Falls. On the Shelburne side, you will find a picturesque New England downtown filled with shops, restaurants, a serene river connecting the two towns, and the Shelburne side viewing platform for the Glacial Potholes.
However, Shelburne offers more than just its well-known cultural hub.
The surrounding hills are home to artists, musicians, orchards, and farm stands. Hiking to the High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary or the stone Shelburne Fire Tower on Mt Massamet rewards you with amazing views. You can explore the peaceful and beautiful Arms Cemetery for a leisurely walk. Wilcox Hollow provides hiking trails, fishing, and kayaking opportunities.
Don't miss the Shelburne Falls Military Band summer concert, and remember to bring your lawn chair – all concerts are free. The annual Shelburne Grange Fair celebrates the town's agricultural heritage and features crafts, music, and exhibits judged for ribbons.
