Shaker Movement and Its Quiet Craft Legacy in Our Community

The Shakers began in the late 18th century and grew through the 1800s, contributing widely through handmade items sold by a local store. Sister Barker highlights their quiet good works and their concept of Consecrated Ingenuity, noting inventions like the flat broom the electric sewing machine and the washing machine once patented by Shakers. Ann Lee founded the order in 1736 and by 1758 joined the Quakers before forming the Shaker movement. The original ecstatic dances faded by the late 1800s and today Shaker services resemble those of other faiths with hymns and readings.
