Shelton House is a historic home located in Waynesville, North Carolina. Built in the early 1800s, the house is a fine example of Federal-style architecture. It was originally constructed by the Shelton family, one of the first families to settle in the area. The house was later purchased by the Haywood County Historical and Genealogical Society and has since been restored and turned into a museum.

The Shelton House Museum features exhibits that showcase the history of Haywood County, including displays on early settlers, agriculture, and industry. The museum also boasts a collection of antique furniture and household items, as well as a working loom and spinning wheel. Visitors can tour the house and grounds and learn about the daily life of early settlers in the region.

In addition to the museum, Shelton House is also used as a venue for weddings and other special events. The house and surrounding gardens provide a picturesque setting for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.
