The Vermont House is an exhibit building at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, United States. It features rotating exhibits, which change yearly.
Asa R. Slocumb built Vermont House in the 1790s shortly after moving to Shelburne, Vermont. His descendants continued to live there until 1929 when they abandoned the house. According to legend, Slocumb's first home was a log cabin which probably resembled the museum's Settlers House. Over time he constructed the wood frame and clapboard exterior that would become Vermont House's original façade around and over the log cabin. After completing the new exterior, he dismantled the cabin and carried the logs away.
