Town of Shoreham

Located on the shores of Lake Champlain, the Town of Shoreham was established in 1791.  Among the dairy farms and apple orchards is a tight-knit community that is proud of its history, invested in its future, and welcoming to all.  The village center is a cluster of homes and businesses located around the intersection of Vermont Route 22A and Vermont Route 74.  

Adventuring along route 74 in Shoreham, seemingly out of nowhere, large sculptures come into view.  What you thought were horses grazing are in fact life size works of art.  Giant monoliths of stone, metal creations from the abstract and surreal to the comical and realistic, driftwood and glass, a few in motion, more than 50 in total make up this completely free attraction.  The Lemon Fair Sculpture Park is open daily, 9-5, May through November.  Take a self-guided tour to view each piece painstakingly created by artists from all over the US (and one from Argentina).  The property owners have graciously opened their land and ask only for respect of the art (please no climbing), one another (keep your dogs on a leash), and their privacy.
