SUMMARY:Serving: a Reading and Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this six-part reading and discussion series to explore the idea of “serving” through history and literature. \n“Serving” is the topic of a new reading and discussion group at Shaker Heritage this spring. As communities that embraced equality\, practiced compassion for the poor and indigent\, and strove to elevate the common good over the individual\, Shaker historic sites have a rich tradition of service. \nSponsored by Humanities New York and by faculty from the Russell Sage College English\, Writing & Culture and Service Learning Programs\, the series will draw on essays\, creative nonfiction\, and short stories from the Civically Engaged Reader to explore the multifaceted nature of service\, and the complicated dynamics between those “serving” and those who are “served”. \nParticipants will be encouraged to share their reflections and to explore the connections among the readings\, Shaker history\, and their own personal experiences. \nRegistration is limited to 20 participants! The event is free but registration is required. Please register via Eventbrite. \nProgram Dates: Tuesdays\, from 4:00pm-5:30pm \nApril 12 \nApril 26 \nMay 10 \nMay 24 \nJune 7 \nJune 21 \n  \n  \nCategory: Workshops\, Lectures

SUMMARY:Women’s Work – Shaker Style. Lecture at the Mabee Farm Historic Site
DESCRIPTION:Women played an important role in all aspects of this utopian\, egalitarian society\, serving as religious leaders\, dealing with business matters\, and shouldering responsibilities for running the everyday affairs. In addition to working on the seed and herb businesses\, the Sisters produced a variety of textiles and other items for the Shakers’ own needs and for sale to the World. \nLorraine Weiss\, Education Coordinator at the Shaker Heritage Society\, will present a program on what “women’s work” meant for the Shaker sisters. As reflected in the journals\, the Sisters’ craftsmanship evolved to respond to the changing economy and trends over the Shakers’ 162 years in Albany. \nTickets are $10 and free for SCHS members.

SUMMARY:Online Lecture - In Her Rightful Place:  Women’s Roles in the Shaker Community
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps known more for their furniture and celibacy\, the Shakers were revolutionary in their views on gender and racial equality. \nWomen were deeply involved at every level of the Shaker hierarchy as religious\, business\, manufacturing\, and administrative leaders.  In short\, “women’s work” in the community involved far more than cooking and cleaning.  One need look no further than Mother Lucy Wright who was the national leader of the Shakers for 25 years. However\, there were also plenty of women like Sister Isabella Graves (1861-1912) of the South Family who served as a Deaconess and was in charge of selling Shaker goods to downtown stores in Albany. \nThe speaker is Lorraine Weiss\, Shaker Heritage Society’s Education Coordinator. \nThe event is free; however\, donations are appreciated. \nRegister at the Shaker Heritage Museum Shop or online at Eventbrite. \n  \nCategory: Online\, Lectures

SUMMARY:Virtual Conference - Past to Apron: A Utopian Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Shaker Heritage was invited to participate in “Past to Apron – Holiday Edition” a virtual conference focused on food and drink history. \nThis event will present a range of topics highlighting various regions and timeframes presented by chefs\, authors\, historians\, brands and cultural institutions – with a holiday theme. The event takes place December 5-6. Shaker Heritage will be presenting the session along with staff from Hancock Shaker Village. \nProgram Description:\nPossibly best known for their furniture today\, the Shakers were a Utopian\, Christian sect who emigrated from Manchester\, England\, seeking freedom of religion. In 1776\, they established their first American settlement in Albany\, New York and set about building a network that would eventually include Hancock Shaker Village and 21 other communities. Shakers’ holiday traditions changed during the 19th century\, as they did in The World (their name for the non-Shaker community). Staff of Shaker Heritage Society (Albany\, NY) and Hancock Shaker Village (Pittsfield\, MA) will introduce you to this fascinating communal society\, the roles Shaker Sisters and Brothers played in food production\, and the distinct way the Shakers celebrated Christmas. The session will include a visit to an historic Shaker kitchen and dining room\, and participants will receive seasonal recipes. \nConference tickets are $25 through November 30; $30 from December 1-4; and $35 December 5 & 6. \nLearn more about the event and book your ticket at PAST TO APRON website.

SUMMARY:Virtual Vault: A Conversation About Shaker Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:Meals were an important part of Shaker life\, and the “table-fare” in Shaker communities was plentiful\, providing ample nourishment for body and spirit. \nThis online event will take a deep dive into Shaker culinary history through an online collaboration of three Shaker museums. \nShaker Heritage Education Coordinator Lorraine Weiss\, Curator of Collections and Development at South Union Shaker Village Sally Givens\, and Hancock Shaker Village Curator Sarah Margolis-Pineo will discuss the history of food as it relates to the culture and geography of each unique Shaker community. Speakers will also share an object or two from their collections. \nShaker Heritage Society is located on the site of America’s first Shaker settlement\, established in 1776 by Mother Ann Lee and a small group of followers. The former Church Family complex is the heart of the 770-acre Watervliet Shaker National Historic District\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property includes nine Shaker buildings\, an apple orchard\, the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve\, and the 1785 Shaker cemetery where Mother Ann Lee and Mother Lucy Wright are buried. \nLocated on the site of the original settlement\, South Union Shaker Village gives visitors a glimpse into life as a Shaker\, living in one of the largest and most innovative communities in Kentucky during the early 19th century. Through the architecture\, craftsmanship\, personal possessions of Shakers\, and their own words\, the Museum preserves and tells the history and legacy of the Shakers at South Union\, while facilitating a personal connection through human stories. \nHancock Shaker Village\, a living history museum on 750 acres\, is a National Historic Landmark that includes twenty historic Shaker buildings dating to 1783. It is the oldest continuously working farm in the Berkshires\, with heritage breeds and heirloom gardens. The museum is home to more than 22\,000 artifacts including furniture\, textiles\, hymnals\, and everyday goods\, making it one of the premier Shaker collections in the world. \nRegister online for this Zoom event  here. \n  \nCategory: Online Event\, Lectures
