Shaker Heritage Society

We are educators, preservationists, and advocates working to share the history, ideals, and cultural identity of the Shakers with the public. We seek to inspire a deep appreciation for the history of America’s first Shaker settlement and the benefits of historic preservation.

The Shaker Heritage Society enriches the Capital Region by engaging the community with the founding home and enduring values of the Shakers. We seek to honor Shaker values, transforming the founding home into a thriving cultural destination at the crossroads of preservation and innovation.
