The History of Shelburne Farms, the Growth of the Non-profit, and the Vision for Its Future

Heidi Webb will speak at the Osher Lecture Series of Lamoille Valley on March 22nd at 1:00pm telling the story of Shelburne Farms and its evolution from a Vanderbilt Mansion, built between 1886 and 1905, to a modern educational nonprofit - making the grounds (designed by Frederick Law Olmsted), the massive barns, and the manor house available to Vermonters and visitors. Each conversion has respected the land and the history of the estate. From the late 1880s until now, Shelburne Farms has been a leader in using innovate yet environmentally sound agricultural practices and breeding techniques.

Heidi was raised on the Farms. After holding fundraising and educational positions in Boston and Middlebury, she married and returned to Shelburne Farms where she is now the Major Gifts Officer in the Development Department.
