shaker museum - mount lebanon

There are 3 different Shaker Sites in this area. The site in Old Chatham (where no Shakers ever lived), is a research center. It used to house a major collection of Shaker artifacts, originally collected by the property owner. The artifacts have been moved to the 10-building, Mt. Lebanon Shaker Village in nearby Lebanon NY, which is being restored, but already offers exhibits and events. This is the on the original site where Shakers lived in this region, and is worth visiting and supporting. The third site is the Hancock Shaker Village in nearby Hancock MA, a spin-off from the original site, and fully restored and well-known.Tip: the photo shown is not in Old Chatham.

Sorry I am realizing now that I am confusing this place with Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield MA. However I am planning to check it out !

for a trip to the past you will really think about how they lived really a must
