HISTORIC SITE OF THE SOUTH UNION SHAKER VILLAGE

CELEBRATING 250 YEARS OF SHAKERS IN AMERICA

On August 6, 1874, Elder Harvey Eades wrote the following from his ofﬁce in the Ministry Shop at South Union: “The day 100 years since, our dear Mother Ann Lee and her little company landed in America, bringing with them the tidings of the everlasting gospel to all who were hungering and thirsting after righteousness. It is hoped that in 100 years more, this gospel will have spread to the ends of the earth.” The Shakers have now been in America for 250 years. South Union Shaker Village continues to preserve the Shaker legacy in what was their “outer branch” in southern Kentucky. We hope you will partner with us to make sure those preservation efforts continue.
