Shaker Heritage Society
America's First Shaker Settlement |
| |
|
| |
The
Shaker Heritage Society, founded in 1977, is a
non-profit historic preservation group which runs
interpretive educational programming about the
Shakers and their influence on the region; it is
also actively concerned with preserving the
integrity of the Watervliet Shaker Historic
District, America's First Shaker Settlement (Listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.).
The Church Family site, where the Society's offices
are located, is the heart of the 770 acre historic
district; eight remaining buildings, fields, apple
orchard, Ann Lee Pond and nature preserve, and the
Shaker cemetery, comprise an intact, contiguous
site.
The Society is renovating the 1848 Shaker Meeting
House, to serve as headquarters for its educational
activities. It offers special group tours of the
building and historic district, guided tours on
Saturdays, craft courses, workshops, lectures and
numerous annual events throughout the year.
