Mosaic Tray Workshop

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.
