In 1875, the Alfred Shaker Community (“Holy Land”) built the Shaker Wood, Lumber Storage, and Carriage House. “Holy Land” was one of the longest lasting Shaker communities: 1793-1931.

In 1931, the Brothers of Christian Instruction purchased the property from the Shakers, and are still in residence. Today, eight original Shaker buildings and a beautifully maintained Shaker cemetery remain on Shaker Hill.

Friends of the Alfred Shaker Museum (FASM) is a grass roots group of volunteers focused on  raising funds and providing labor to restore the interior and exterior of the building. When finished, the Museum will display Shaker items and will be available as an educational facility and community center.

The Museum holds various functions to encourage the public to share in the growing development of the building.
