Reviews
"Wonderful gift shop with great herbs, teas and handmade gifts."
"We went on open farm day. I expected to stay for an hour or so. We were there for the entire day. We went on 3 wagon rides, toured the grounds several times and hung out with some super friendly sheep. This is a must visit site. We will be back."
"Out of the way Maine. Decided to drop by. 1800 acres and only 2 Shakers left so this place is going to be a run down waste. NOT! Wonderful preserved throw back to 200 years. If you like history don’t miss. Cool exhibits. Worth the visit if you have the time."
"Fabulous tour. We were fortunate enough to get a private tour. The tour includes the original meeting house and the ladies home. The history is wildly interesting. At the time of this writing, there were only 2 living Shakers left in the world . . . and they are both here. This is unfortunately where the Shakers will official pass into history."
"Shaker Village. Beautiful 225 year old buildings located in original religious colony. Won't go into Shaker beliefs and traditions here. You can Google them yourselves. Beautiful country setting, heirloom plants, herb mixes, heritage cookbooks, jams and souvenirs for sale. Tours are $10 for adults. Includes all buildings, museum and Shaker burial ground."
