Enfield Shaker Museum
The Enfield Shaker Museum is an open-air historical museum in Enfield , New Hampshire , United States . It is dedicated to the history of the Shaker , a Protestant denomination that lived on the site from 1793 to 1923. It is located in a valley between Mount Assurance and Mascoma Lake, not far from Enfield. When the Shaker community was dissolved, the 11 hectare, 13 building site was given to the state.
One of the buildings, the "Great Stone Dwelling", was once the largest residential building north of Boston and is the largest Shaker building in the United States. It now houses the Enfield Shaker Museum. The museum grounds include eight buildings and gardens that are true to the original.
