Description:

The Shaker village at Canterbury, New Hampshire, became a planned community shortly after its founding in 1792. Over the next sixty years the Shakers erected nearly one hundred buildings at Canterbury. By 1858 Canterbury was a mature social experiment, with a planned village, model farm, and an extensive industrial base. In the second half of the 19th century Canterbury consolidated and rebuilt. Between 1892 and 1939, when the last Shaker brother at Canterbury died, the village modernized. Throughout Canterbury's history, the Shakers filtered New England building ideas, materials, and practices to create a material environment that gave tangible expression to and reinforced their social and religious ideals.
