Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

One of the best-preserved Shaker community sites in the country, the Canterbury Shaker Village was established in the late 18th-century and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The site features 29 buildings, 25 of which date back to when the community was built, and visitors are welcome to explore the property at their leisure. Guided tours are included in the price of admission, and visitors will get to watch live artisan demonstrations of traditional crafts like spinning an broom making. If you get hungry, there's also an on-site restaurant that specializes in traditional Quaker cuisine, although it's closed during the winter.
