Nestled in a lush valley between Shaker Mountain and Mascoma Lake in New Hampshire, this special place has been cherished for over two hundred years–first by the Enfield Shakers, who came to call their village “Chosen Vale,” and now by Museum staff, donors, members, and visitors from around the world. At its peak in the mid 19th century, the community was home to three “Families” of Shakers. Here, Brothers, Sisters, and children lived, worked, and worshiped. Here, they practiced equality of the sexes and races, celibacy, pacifism, and communal ownership of property. Today, their story is preserved and shared by the Enfield Shaker Museum.
