Vermont

By Travelog Editorial Team ยท Updated August 8, 2026

Vermont is live on Travelog with one city, Shelburne, home to Shelburne Farms, a 1,300-acre estate founded in 1886 by Dr. William Seward Webb and Lila Vanderbilt Webb, its landscape designed in part by Frederick Law Olmsted. It became a National Historic Landmark District on January 3, 2001. Day visits are free (donations encouraged) from mid-May through mid-October.

Shelburne Farms carries a documented, direct connection to the designer of Central Park, worth understanding as genuine landscape-architecture history, not just a scenic Vermont farm, covered in full below.
