Thanks to the Trustees of the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, we're excited to announce an incredibly generous challenge. If you help us meet our Campaign for Shelburne Farms goal, the Robert W. Wilson Trust will contribute $5M to the Coach Barn Rehabilitation Project. The historic Coach Barn is our community gathering space and home of the Institute for Sustainable Schools, key elements of the Campaign. We have just over $1M left to raise by December 31.


Help us meet the challenge by making a gift today.
