About this book

The House at Shelburne Farms: The Story of One of America's Great Countryside Estates by Sherman, Joe. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780839733522.

A stranger in a buckboard appeared at Edward Saxtons door in 1885 and offered to buy his farm overlooking Lake Champlain. The farmer gave him an option and later sold. One of the largest houses in Vermont soon squatted in Saxtons apple orchard, only to be displaced within a decade by the biggest house in the state, a Y-shaped mansion of one hundred rooms manned by thirty servants and overseeing a 4000-acre agricultural estate.
