We miss the camaraderie and conversation of the Museum’s annual meeting of Shaker scholars and students! The Covid-19 pandemic shut us down in 2020, but now that we’ve trained ourselves in All Things Zoom we are delighted to offer the 2021 online Spring Shaker Forum.
Join us for an engaging series of six Zoom-based presentations devoted to Shaker history and culture. Talks will be broadcast live at 7 pm on selected Tuesday and Thursday evenings between April 29 and May 20. Registrants will be provided access to recordings of all the talks.
