Shirley Shaker Village
Shirley Shaker Village is a historic former Shaker community in Lancaster and Shirley, Massachusetts.
Defined as an historic district, it includes about half of the original buildings and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Shirley Shaker Village began in 1793.
Hundreds of acres of land was donated by John Warren, Elijah and Ivory Wildes, and Nathan Willard near their properties.
At its peak there were 26 buildings; Now there are 13.
Within the community there were the North, South and Church families.
By 1853 there were 150 believers, or members, and the community continued into the 20th century.
The buildings were first made of clapboard and painted yellow and white.
After the 1840s and the founding of a brick factory nearby, new buildings were constructed of brick.
The brick administration building was styled similarly to one at the Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire.
The interiors of the buildings were described by William Dean Howells in 1875 as" the unpapered walls, the scrubbed floors hidden only by rugs and strips of carpeting, and the plain flat finish of the wood- work.
Each chamber accommodates two brothers or sisters, and is appointed with two beds, two rocking chairs, two wash stands, and a wood stove with abundance of rugs.
There were few tokens of personal taste in the arrangements of the rooms."
The Shakers earned income by producing and selling jellies, applesauce, herbs, mops and brooms.
When the community dwindled and they were no longer able to be self- supporting, in 1908" believers" moved to the Hancock Shaker Village.
The state purchased the property in 1909 and adapted it for use as an" industrial school" for troubled and delinquent boys.
Extensive changes were made to the property, resulting in the movement, alteration, and demolition of buildings.
In 1971 the school was closed.
New construction was done on site and the total facility was converted into the Massachusetts Correctional Institution complex.
A historic district, encompassing the Shaker- related resources on more than of land in Shirley and Lancaster, was defined and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The Shirley Historical Society arranges periodic tours of the former Shirley Shaker Village.
Several other Shaker village sites operate today as museums.
A similar community was founded in nearby Harvard.
The meetinghouse of Shirley Shaker Village was moved in 1962 to Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield to replace an identical one which burned and then was razed in 1938.
Today, only one" society" remains in the control of the last Shakers, located at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester, Maine.
The Shaker Quarterly
The Shaker Quarterly was a periodical published by the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village from 1961 to 1996.
It served as a journal and newsletter about the Shakers, and at times also doubled as a mail order catalog advertising products created by the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake.
It was the first regular Shaker publication since the" Manifesto" ceased publication in 1899.
The" Quarterly" was launched in 1961 by Theodore E. Johnson and Mildred Barker.
An attempt to keep Shaker doctrine alive, its founding marked the beginning of a renewed interest in the Shakers during the 1960s.
Several Shaker industries were revived, including the Shaker herb industry, at Sabbathday Lake.
In 1971, the Shaker community began stocking herbal products in the village store, and advertising herbal products in the" Quarterly".
For instance, the Winter 1971 issue listed eighteen culinary herbs and eleven herbal teas for sale.
The publication emphasized the history of the Shakers, but also published, and republished, articles discussing their religion and theology.
It featured devotionals and various theological and historical works written by the Shakers themselves, but also included book reviews and scholarly research from other contributors.
Among Barker's contributions was the regularly occurring column" Home Notes."
Johnson acted as the journal's original editor, and after his death was replaced by Arnold Hadd and Wayne Smith.
The" Quarterly" suspended publication between 1975 and 1986, and ceased publication in 1996.
Shaker Village Work Group
The Shaker Village Work Group was a recreational summer camp and teen educational program that occupied historic Shaker land and buildings in New Lebanon, New York.
The property was purchased by founders Jerome( Jerry) and Sybil A. Count from the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village community in 1946, and was opened to its first group of young" villagers" as the Shaker Village Work Camp in 1947.
Around 1960, the Work Camp's name was changed to the Shaker Village Work Group.
Operating until 1973, the Shaker Village Work Group was noteworthy as a program that gave urban youths the opportunity to learn skilled hands- on work through folk crafts, for its efforts to preserve Shaker architecture and culture, for its role in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 60s, and for its influence on the 1960s counterculture movement.
During its twenty- six year span the Shaker Village Work Group presented a microcosm of American work and political ideals, weaving together the Protestant work ethic and communitarianism of the Shakers, the labor movement's celebration of ordinary working class manual labor, and libertarian ideals of self- sufficiency and self- ownership.
Shakers
The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, more commonly known as the Shakers, is a millenarian nontrinitarian restorationist Christian sect founded circa 1747 in England and then organized in the United States in the 1780s.
They were initially known as" Shaking Quakers" because of their ecstatic behavior during worship services.
Espousing egalitarian ideals, women took on spiritual leadership roles alongside men, including founding leaders such as Jane Wardley, Mother Ann Lee, and Mother Lucy Wright.
The Shakers emigrated from England and settled in Revolutionary colonial America, with an initial settlement at Watervliet, New York( present- day Colonie) in 1774.
They practice a celibate and communal lifestyle, pacifism, uniform charismatic worship, and their model of equality of the sexes, which they institutionalized in their society in the 1780s.
They are also known for their simple living, architecture, technological innovation, and furniture.
During the mid-19th century, an Era of Manifestations resulted in a period of dances, gift drawings, and gift songs inspired by spiritual revelations.
At its peak in the mid-19th century, there were 4,000 – 6,000
Shaker believers living in 18 major communities and numerous smaller, often short- lived, communities.
External and internal societal changes in the mid- and late- 19th century resulted in the thinning of the Shaker community as members left or died with few converts to the faith to replace them.
By 1920, there were only 12 Shaker communities remaining in the United States., there is only one active Shaker village: Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, in Maine.
Consequently, many of the other Shaker settlements are now museums.
