Shaker Museum at South Union

	Map		Reviews

The Shakers came to South Union in 1807 and were here until 1922. They kept journals of their activities and from these journals, we can catch a glimpse of the history of their daily lives, their belief in work and worship, their inventions and contributions, the birth of the seed industry, textile production and what it was like to live during that period of time.

A visit to this wonderful historic site takes one back in time and perhaps gives a better understanding of the challenges facing the Shakers. South Union today is more than just a memory. It is a place to visit and learn firsthand about the Shaker way of life. Several of the original buildings have been restored and now house a fine museum of Shaker folklife and material culture, a unique gift shop, and overnight lodgings. This Shaker community was established by the Shakers in 1807 and closed in 1922.
