Shaker Village Presents – Sustaining the Structure
Saturday, August 12, 2023: 10am-8pm
& Sunday, August 13, 2023: 10am-1pm
Hybrid: In-Person Onsite and Virtual via Zoom
Join us in-person or on-line for our Friends’ Weekend and 49th Annual Friends’ Weekend! We will have Shaker educational programming, singing, and plenty of laughter. This is a special year, as we host our first-ever hybrid Friends’ Weekend. Whether you can join us in-person or on-line, we’ll be glad to be together! Stay the entire event or just attend as much as you can.
Brother Arnold, Michael Graham, and several special guests will lead us in programming centered on the vast historic preservation work happening at the Shaker Village. We’ll talk about how these projects encapsulate the priorities and cultural outreach led by generations of Sabbathday Lake Shakers. Learn about the intricacies and complexities of historic preservation happening within a living culture — certainly a unique time to be involved at Shaker Village!
