Volunteers at the Shaker Heritage Society have a variety of roles and work all sorts of hours. Throughout the year, we're in need of assistance in our Education department, with research and organizational roles. In spring, summer, and fall, we need volunteers to work in our Museum Shop behind the register and as greeters, as well as assist with special events like our Summer and Harvest Craft Fairs, as well as our popular Holiday Market between October and December.
Inspired by the Shakers' motto, "hands to work, hearts to god," we created our Hands to Work Days as a way to emulate the Shakers' belief in integrity in their labor as well as their worship. Hands to Work Days are an opportunity for the community to gather and assist us in beautifying our site. From mopping and dusting our historic Meeting Room to raking leaves and clearing branches throughout our site, we would be glad to have your help.
And if you love to tell stories, we are revamping our docent program and are looking for folks interested in learning all about our site and its history and sharing it with our visitors.
