About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Enfield Shaker Museum, an educational institution, is to preserve and share its historical structures, landscape, and Shaker cultural heritage with our multi-generational visitors, members, and the global community.
About
Preservation: The Museum is actively restoring, preserving, and maintaining the remaining built environment of the original Shaker village, established in 1793 along the shore of Mascoma Lake. This national historic site contains nine original buildings (the earliest dating to 1813) built by the Shakers of Enfield, a mill pond and related water technology, two cemeteries, and a historic garden featuring Shaker heirloom plant varieties situated within a larger historic built environment surrounded by state-protected lands (on which is the unique Shaker Feast Ground atop of Mount Assurance, which the Museum also maintains). The Museum preserves its building collection through rigorous research and adherence to Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The site's domestic, agricultural, and industrial buildings document 150 years of the Shakers' creation and occupation of the site. All have been recorded through professional architectural renderings, archaeological excavations and surveys, and documentary historical research. These buildings not only tell the story of the Shakers who lived, worked, and worshipped here; these buildings also document the 150 years of American building technology. In FY2019, the Museum received an award of $15,000 to remove the siding on the West Meadow Barn.
