Enfield Shaker Museum Mission

The Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the buildings, material culture, and landscapes produced and used both by the Shakers and by the Missionaries of La Salette. Through collections, research facilities, exhibits, and public programs, the Museum promotes discussion of the great existential questions of human life including community, spirituality, creativity, and economic activity.
