About The Shakers
|

The Shakers, who flourished in the 19th century, were America's
largest and most successful communal society. The members held all
property in common where they lived, worked, and worshiped. They
practiced celibacy, pacifisim, freedom from prejudice, and equality of
race and gender as they sought to create a "Heaven on Earth".
A society based upon spirituality, they devoted their "hands to
work" and "hearts to god" for over 200 years.
Today, their way of life is preserved by just a handful of practicing
members. The Shaker Legacy lives on not only in their unparalleled
craftsmanship and many contributions to society, but above all, their
quest for simplicity and perfection that created a reputation of
honesty, humility and dedication to God and fellow man.
