We're far from "finishing touches" on the Coach Barn, but take a walk through the main rooms, and start to imagine how this building will feel as an historic, year-round, sustainably designed space for learning and convening.

We're excited to open for the 2025 season this weekend! To celebrate, we asked Shelburne Farms staff members to share their favorite places on our working farm campus.

How far have we advanced towards our goal of being Net Zero by 2028, when the farm will be capturing more greenhouse gases than we produce on campus? Here are our climate actions and their impact to date. 

Ongoing work is focusing on the Coach Barn's historic fabric. Through the reconstruction and renovation of the 125-year-old barn, we keep asking: How can we honor a building’s past while adapting it for the future?

The transformation of the Coach Barn has begun! Find out what major work has been occurring since August to renew the building as a space for gathering and learning. 

Shelburne Farms' third Save America's Treasures grant will allow us to restore the Farm Barn courtyard walls next spring.

Shelburne Farms is conserving this critical farm and forest land that lies within the boundaries of our campus.
