Directions

From the south:  Take Route 7 north to the center of Shelburne Village.  Turn left (at the Mobil Station) onto Harbor Road.  Follow Harbor Road to the stop sign.  Turn left into Shelburne Farms stopping at the gatehouse to check in with the Shelburne Farms staff.  They will direct you to the Coach Barn.
