The Enfield Shaker Museum and historic site, nestled in a valley between Mt. Assurance and Mascoma Lake in Enfield, New Hampshire, has been cherished for over 200 years. At its peak in the mid-19th century, the Enfield Shaker Village was home to three “Families” of Shakers. Today, their story is preserved and told by the Enfield Shaker Museum.
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.

GSA Feedback:
“I enjoyed their comments about how the museum is slowly revealing itself as they continue with the preservation activities – ie, take down a wall to find unique construction techniques.” “I didn’t realize the museum was a work in progress. I pictured it as more “static” or finished. It sounds as though the museum is very connected to the community of Enfield.”
