Community Volunteer Day at Shaker Village

The Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, home to the world’s only living Shakers, is opening its doors to friends and volunteers for a Community Work Day on Saturday, May 11th from 9am-3pm.  Join the Shakers and their friends by helping with Spring clean-up and chores throughout the historic buildings, barns, gardens, and grounds.  Spend the day enjoying the beauty and serenity of this 236-year old farm while putting your hands to work, and walking in the footsteps of generations of Shakers before.  Meet friendly people who come from Maine and across New England to join the Shakers in support of their enduring traditions.  All are welcome to the potluck dinner, served community-style in the Shakers’ Dwelling House.  Experience one of Maine’s most unique and enduring cultures.  Come one, come all!  Please RSVP at friendsoftheshakers.org or email info@maineshakers.com or call 207-926-4597.
Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village is located at 707 Shaker Rd, New Gloucester, ME.
