Summer Craft Fair

The Shaker Heritage Society (SHS) is located on the site of America’s first Shaker settlement which was founded in 1776 by Mother Ann Lee and a small group of followers.  The complex is a small oasis located within walking distance from Albany Airport’s main entrance and the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve.  Visitors enjoy a mix of historic buildings and natural landscape features, the Shaker cemetery, and apple orchard.    The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from March through late December.  The grounds are open to the public from dawn to dusk throughout the year.We offer a wide variety of tours, workshops, and programs for youth and adults.  The 1848 Meeting House and 1915 Barn are frequently used by community organizations for meetings and special events.For additional information about the Shaker Heritage Society, please visit www.shakerheritagesociety.org , email director@shakerheritage.org or call 518-456-7890.
