Hi Jeff,

Everyone knows that Jeff’s URL is Vermont Travel Notes, right? Click on it for lots of good local info from him.

Anyway, I have not been to Shelburne and really appreciate the links; the place sounds awesome!

Thanks for dropping by Family Travel….

Hi Thursday,

Thanks very much for the confirmation; there are “miles and miles of miles and miles” in OK, so it’s nice to know that a good stop’s in there somewhere.

And yeah, the casino thing doesn’t work real well with kids….

Hello Sheila. I have to add a couple more similar facilities here in Vermont that New England residents and tourists can see after they follow your advice to see Rhode Island and Salem MA.

The Shelburne Museum (http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/whats_on/for_families.php) is one of the most impressive facilities I have ever visited. It’s huge and would take at least two days to cover thoroughly. You won’t believe it until you see it in person.

Also nearby is a truly amazing farm called Shelburne Farms (http://www.shelburnefarms.org/).

There are other living history places but the two above are the “must sees” in Vermont.

Having had the dubious pleasure of driving across southern Oklahoma, I have to say that a stop at Indian City USA is well worth it. Otherwise, you’re going to be scratching at the windows for any stop — 90% of which are casinos!
