Circus and Americana at the Shelburne Museum

Originally posted on July 13, 2015. Visiting the progeny in Burlington, Vermont over the weekend we were privileged to have the opportunity to spend some time at the nearby Shelburne Museum on Saturday. Founded by Electra Havemeyer Webb in 1947, it’s an enormous multi-acre complex, a sort of collection of collections, embracing Americana, folk art, history, circus and a dozen others disciplines…

Whirligigs

For a writer visiting the places a novel is set can add that special detail that makes a story seem real. In Lost Beneath the Tide a key scene is set at a whirligig festival. This is based on an actual festival I attended in the town of Shelburne , Nova Scotia. The whirligigs I describe in the book are ones I actually saw. What is a Whirligig? A whirligig is a fanciful type of weathervane. Like…

Nova Scotia highlights

Our Nova Scotia experience was great and we really enjoyed the days here though we did suffer with the July fog a fair bit when trying to do the lighthouse trail. We did however get to visit some lovely places and stay in some awesome accommodation. We did get to folow the coast a fair bit and see many lighthouse and in the northern area, the Bay of Fundy with its mud and famous Bore, more on that in another post.

We stopped off in some places which were quite charming, Lunenberg for one where we were lucky for the fog to clear enough for us to see the characterful historic seafront and tall ships that were around, the only downside of this place being that it is clearly a tourist magnet judging by the number of coaches there.

On the next days travel we went to Shelburne, another historic settlement which was founded by loyalists to Britain who loved from America during the Revolution. over 3000 refugees including a large black population settled in the region and at one stage Shelburne was one of the largest settlements in the Maritime region and very important for shipbuilding

We had an amazing couple of days travelling out to Brier Island set far out on the Bay of Fundy on a spit accessed via the two ferries, the first day in the fog but the second day we spent on the island was perfect. We made the most of this by visiting the Balancing rock, a granite stack on the cliff edge got to by many many steps, going to the beach at Big Pond cove then it was whale watching again and we were not disappointed. I'll do a separate post on the whales. Then it was onto Digby at the top end of the Bay of Fundy for the next nights stop.

A couple weeks ago I visited the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, USA, with a work friend. She took photos throughout the day. I don't own a camera of any kind, so I asked her to share with me the photos she took. Unfortunately I found her photos far from extensive regarding the sights the Museum has to offer, but they offer a good taste at least.

These are a selection of the carriages and sleighs on display in the Round Barn. The Round Barn is a three-story barn measuring 80 feet in diameter, built in 1901 in East Passumpsic, Vermont and moved to the Museum's premises sometime after its founding in 1947. There are roughly 20 carriages and sleighs housed in this barn, so this selection above is not exhaustive. My friend took no photos of the barn itself, but you can see what the barn looks like on this blog post: https://breezesatdawn.wordpress.com/2017/08/31/the-shelburne-museum-the-round-barn/

I am standing beside the Country Cutter in the second-to-last photo to give a scale of how small the cutter actually is. The whole thing is only around five feet long.

Collection of sleighs and carriages from the other two barns housing them can be seen here.
