Story

Nestled in a valley between Mt. Assurance and Mascoma Lake, in Enfield, New Hampshire, the Enfield Shaker site has been cherished for over 200 years. At its peak in the mid 19th century, the community was home to three "Families" of Shakers. They practiced equality of the sexes and races, celibacy, pacifism and communal ownership of property. Shakers farmed over 3,000 acres of land, educated children in model schools and worshipped in the “Shaker Way.”

excellent, informative guided tour of the museum. a nice contrast to the history and our visit a few days earlier to canterbury shaker village. we lucked out that the apple cider & cheese festival was on the same day and admission was included with the fee for the museum. fun time.

A beautiful piece of history nestled in the bucolic Foothills of New Hampshire. Worth a visit for the museum and of course a stunning place for a wedding

As an amateur student of the 19th century communal living movements, being able to get a much closer looks at the Shakers and their life was a real treat. The tour guide was amazingly enthusiastic, and was willing to discuss in detail many aspects of Shaker culture, as well as being knowledgeable about how the culture evolved over the years. If you're a student of history, GO GO GO. It's worth it.
