Harvard Shaker Village

Some photos and content provided courtesy of the Harvard Historical Society

The Harvard Shaker Village comprises 12 remaining Shaker Structures, a burial ground, and the Holy Hill of Zion, where outdoor worship once took place.  There are wonderful trails and many acres of conservation land abutting the Shaker Village.  A mix of woodland and open meadow provide wonderful habitat for a wide range of wildlife and birds.

In addition to the many surviving structures, there are also artifacts and ruins.  There are cellar holes, granite fence and gate posts to be found throughout the village and along the conservation trails.  For example:
