Town of Shelburne

Town of Shelburne

Shelburne usually boasts the phrase "A People Place- A Change of Pace", truer words were never spoken. Shelburne transports you back to a time when all food was home cooked and music was a celebration to share with everyone. This charming town lights up during August for the Old Time Fiddle Contest and parade, where locals and visitors tap, stomp, and hum along to the sounds of fiddlers from all across North America.

In Shelburne you can take a step back in history with the old Town Hall, which has been restored and contains Grace Tipling Hall a wonderfully entertaining antique theatre. Also, just around the corner is the old Shelburne Post Office (which is now a fabulous antique store), the restored original library, and also Jelly House, where entrepreneurs, hotel owners, and brothers William and John Jelly resided. Shelburne also contains spectacular natural areas as well. Shelburne is a great stop for snowmobilers looking for a place to get gas and a hot meal, or fishermen looking for a place to meet friends after a day of fishing at the rivers and ponds in the area. Shelburne is also near Boyne Valley Provincial Park which hosts a section of the Bruce Trail.
