Could this be a "new to you" American holiday tradition? Just in time for Thanksgiving! (we recommend using Meyers Lemons). #ShakerLemonPie #Thanksgiving bit.ly/2PP7zLT

We LOVE this informative book review/how to video! Burled wood lids shown were not typical of Shaker oval boxes but they are a beautiful, modern interpretation of the classic Shaker oval box. youtube.com/watch?v=1rHHUaZP…
Preserve New York, Shakerpedia, and more at the Shaker Site! conta.cc/2DMDhot
This is the Trustee's Office. It is not in the Shaker Heritage Society lease. It is owned by Albany County. SHS recently restored the barn, meeting house and drying house.
The barn and meeting hall were in good shape but the brick buildings definitely need some TLC.

The fall Shaker Craft Fair is completely filled up with many new vendors and lots of your favorite vendors too! Come check it out this weekend! #ShakerCraftFair #ShakerHeritage #handmade #BuyLocal
Did U know that the Kerry Cows at the Shaker Site are an endangered species? There are only about 24 of them left in the USA and a few hundred in Ireland. They are out in the pasture near the Meeting House every summer. #KerryCow #ShakerHeritage
