Shaker's Attic: A History of Community Giving is on exhibit at the Shaker Historical Society from November 7, 2020 - May 23, 2021. All objects are from the collection of the Shaker Historical Society, built from decades of generous giving from the community.

We thank Board Member Hazel Smith for developing, researching, and curating this exhibit based on a volunteer inventory project that opened our eyes to some of the lesser-known treasures in our collection.

Donate today to support in-person and virtual exhibits at the Shaker Historical Society!

Most of this exhibit is accredited to our museum's accession card catalog that is currently being inventoried. In addition, our archives from the Elizabeth Nord Library supplied much of our research provided in the exhibit.
