Horseshoe Barn and Annex

The Horseshoe Barn and Horseshoe Barn Annex are two exhibit buildings located at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont. Both buildings exhibit a variety of Horse-drawn vehicles, including carriages, trade wagons, stagecoaches, and sleighs.
==History==
Electra Havemeyer Webb’s desire to provide a suitable setting for the carriage collection of her father-in-law, Dr. William Seward Webb, provided the inspiration for founding Shelburne Museum. She searched Vermont for a building to house these fine carriages and found a unique horseshoe-shaped dairy barn near Georgia, Vermont. When the owner declined to sell the barn, Electra Webb directed her staff to create a copy of the structure. Over a two-year period they located, moved, and assembled hand-hewn beams from twelve Vermont barns and stone from two gristmills to construct their own horseshoe barn on museum grounds.〔Shelburne Museum. 1993. Shelburne Museum: A Guide to the Collections. Shelburne: Shelburne Museum, Inc.〕
Completed in July 1949, the massive structure, which is 238 ½ feet long and wide, incorporated 745 timbers, posts, and braces, of plank and other boarding, and of slate. Carpenters specially cut new clapboards for the exterior siding with an up-and-down saw ''(see Scroll Saw)'' to recreate the markings found on the original building.〔Hill, Ralph Nading and Lilian Baker Carlisle. The Story of The Shelburne Museum. 1955.〕
In 1957, after the addition of 150 more vehicles to the transportation collection, the museum constructed the Horseshoe Barn Annex to exhibit key examples from the collection using a combination of old and new materials.〔http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/buildings_and_grounds/detail.php?id=12〕
