Weekly Shaker Herb Garden Tour
with Herbalist Happy Griffiths
Fridays at 11 am, meet by the rose bushes in the garden
Join renowned herbalist and founder of the Enfield Shaker Museum Herb Garden, Happy Griffiths, for a guided tour through one of the Museum’s most beloved living exhibits.
Discover the fascinating history of the Shakers’ herb-growing traditions as you explore beds of culinary, medicinal, aromatic, and dye plants. Along the way, Happy will share stories of how these herbs were cultivated and used by the Enfield Shakers, as well as their practical uses in today’s gardens and homes.
With decades of experience as an herbalist, educator, and the visionary behind the Museum’s herb garden, Happy brings each tour to life with engaging insights and a deep appreciation for the connections between people, plants, and history. The Museum’s herb garden features many of the same plants that were grown by the Shakers as part of their thriving herb and medicine enterprise.
Fridays at 11:00 a.m.
Tours are free with Museum admission and are open to visitors of all ages. Whether you’re an avid gardener, curious about herbal traditions, or simply looking for a beautiful way to experience the Museum grounds, this tour offers a unique opportunity to explore the living legacy of the Enfield Shakers.
What to Expect
Tours last approximately one hour and take place rain or shine, except in the case of thunder or lightning. Much of the tour is outdoors in full sun, so we recommend dressing for the weather, wearing comfortable walking shoes, and bringing water, sunscreen, or rain gear as needed.
The herb garden features maintained paths, but visitors should expect some uneven terrain. Benches are available in both sunny and shaded areas throughout the garden for those who would like to sit during the tour.
Visitors are encouraged to engage all of their senses. You’ll have opportunities to see, smell, and ~when invited by your guide~ even taste selected herbs. To help preserve the garden and support the Museum’s educational mission, we ask that visitors do not pick plants or harvest herbs during the tour.

Henry Danaher

Enfield Shaker Museum is grateful that Henry is a champion of Enfield’s Casavant Organ, and an indispensable partner in recruiting musicians for this recital series.
Organ Restoration Update
Bob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to have two craftsmen, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction, caring for this precious instrument.
Thank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.

Market Basket Workshop

Market Basket Workshop
with Dona Nazarenko
Saturday, August 22nd, 2026
9:00 – 5:00pm

Join us in the Great Stone Dwelling dining room for a full day workshop! Market baskets are one the most classic and traditional baskets made years ago and still basketmakers continue to make them even today. A charming and useful addition to every home, these baskets can be personalized by adding a touch of color into the weave and by inserting a delicate handle. Participants will use natural reed, paired with a wood handle, and can choose to add color accents if desired. All skill levels welcome. Some basketmaking experience helpful. This rectangular basket measures approximately 11″ x 6 1/2″

Who is Doña Nazerenko?
Residing in Tunbridge, Vermont, Doña Nazarenko has been weaving since 1988 and teaching since 1994. While living along the New Jersey coast, Doña developed an interest in woodcrafts and related art forms that developed into her desire to take basket making classes in 1988.
Her exploration of a different art medium has since evolved into a flourishing talent. She now enjoys making traditional baskets using reed with wooden accents to more challenging baskets using birch bark from the area surrounding her current residence in rural Vermont.
The highlight of the early years at her craft was having a one-on-one critique with John McGuire at Peter’s Gallery in 1992. His confidence in her and his discretion continues to help her with her current work. Today she can be seen demonstrating basketry representing Vermont fiber artists at local and out-of-state events. Most days she can be found working in her studio at Country Spirit Baskets
Please bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshments will be provided.
Cost:
Museum Members – $70
Non-Members – $80

Make A Turkey Wing Whisk Broom
2026-09-05 10:00 - 16:00 | Enfield Shaker Museum, 447 NH Route 4A, Enfield, NH, 03748, United States
Turkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop
Saturday, September 5, 2026
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
During the 19th century, the Enfield Shakers produced as many as “2000 dozen” brooms per year. Begun at Watervliet, New York community, in 1798, the Shaker broom industry quickly became one of the most important industries for Shaker communities across the country. Brooms can also be seen as a symbol of an important Shaker ideal. Cleanliness was a spiritual and moral imperative. When Mother Ann Lee told her followers, “Sweep clean,” she was referring not only to the floor of the home, but also the floor of the heart.

Join our resident broom squire Larry Antonuk for a Turkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop. Begin by learning to make a simple bundle whisk broom, including the knots and materials used to make all brooms. After you master the skills necessary to use a “tumble spool”, you will move on to the more challenging turkey wing whisk broom.
These traditional, functional, high quality and long lasting brooms are made from natural broom corn.
This Turkey Wing Whisk Broom workshop takes place in the historic Great Stone Dwelling dining room. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the Brethren’s West Shop and the historical equipment the Shaker Brother’s used to create their iconic brooms.
Class size limited to 8. Advance registration required.
Please bring a bag lunch, closed-toe shoes and a water bottle.
Cost:
Museum Members – $65/per person (includes materials)
Non-Members – $75/per person (includes materials)
*Please select the quantity of tickets you would like before clicking the “Get Tickets” button.
All proceeds from this workshop go to support the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum.
Coming from a distance? Why not plan to stay overnight in the historic Great Stone Dwelling? Check out room availability here.
More about our Broom Squire Larry Antonuk:

Sometime in 2010, Larry Antonuk found himself on a tour of the Enfield Shaker Museum. While watching a Broom Making demonstration he became fascinated with the process, and wound up coming back for a private tutorial with Master Broom Maker Susan Brown.

One thing led to another, and Larry is now a frequent demonstrator at the Museum. He has researched and reproduced a variety of Shaker designs, and now sells his work in our Gift Shop. Larry is a juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen, and can often be seen demonstrating at the Sunapee Fair.
