Welcome to Shaker Village is what the sign says as you wind your way up the road and see the breathtaking view!
Shaker Village was established in 1792 in the town of Canterbury, NH. Merrimack County. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark. The Village still retains 25 of its original Shaker buildings and 2 refurbished ones!
The Shakers made their living through farming, herbology and husbandry. They also did small scale manufacturing of many products including brooms,buckets and the famous "Shaker Boxes".
Sister Ethel Hudson was the last remaining resident . She died in 1992.
The site is now a Museum and is surrounded by 694 acres that are under a permanent conservation easement.
