Hello again! Summer may seem a long way away but we wanted to let you know about an important conference taking place at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in July. The title of the conference is “We Will Sustain the Structure: The Built and Natural Environments of the Shakers.” The July 15-17 event will cover a lot of topics related not only to the Shakers but to important issues of architecture, design, nature and the environment, even music. Presentations by the Shakers and people from a variety of backgrounds will form the core of the conference along with nature hikes, historic site visits and tours and media presentations. The conference is designed to complement our exhibit “Creating Chosen Land: Our Home 1783-2010.”
