Best SHaker Village Tour In America
“This is a must-see. We’ve been to other Shaker Villages in America. This one is the best because the people who lead these tours know the last Shakers. So, the talk had a personal depth that is absent from the other Shaker sites, that are run by museum companies.”

Also add to fresh whipped cream, cream frosting, and homemade ice cream. Cosmetically useful in perfumes, creams, salves and balms. Use in a mister as a room freshener or laundry fragrance. Fantastic as a skin cleanser! Just wet a cotton ball with Shaker Rose Water and dab it on cleansed skin. 4 oz. frosted glass bottle.

Like the Willow Tree The Diary of Lydia Amelia Pierce, Portland, Maine, 1918 by Lois Lowry Historical fiction, recommended for grades 3-8 and a favorite recommendation of ours to all children visiting Sabbathday Lake. In 1918, as the Great War rages in Europe, the Spanish influenza tears a brutal path across the United States, leaving devastation in its wake. Ordinary life is turned upside down as schools are closed, and all spheres of public life are shut down. Suddenly, eleven-year-old Lydia Pierce and her older brother, Daniel, find themselves orphans of the flu, and are taken by their grieving uncle to be raised in the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake. Thrust into the Shaker's unfamiliar way of life, Lydia, a fiercely independent girl, must grapple with a new world that is nothing like the one she used to know. Lydia must work hard, and all the while she worries about her headstrong brother, who has run away. In time, and with her courageous spirit, Lydia learns to overcome the devastation wrought by the Spanish flu pandemic and find the joy in living with the Shakers -- yet she cannot stop wondering, will Daniel ever return? Newbery medalist Lois Lowry's poignant story of a girl living through the Spanish Influenza pandemic sadly seems more resonant than ever before. In the face of COVID-19, readers are sure to draw comfort from Lydia's sense of hopefulness. Now, with a brand new introduction from the author! Scholastic 224 pages paperback ISBN 9781338724325
