The museum and library collections relate to Shaker life and culture and are based in Old Chatham, New York, USA.Originating in 1950 with the private collections of the museum's founder John S. Williams, Sr., the Shaker Museum was accredited in 1972 by the American Alliance of Museums. In 1986 was named a "Primary Organization" by the New York State Council on the Arts. The museum is located at 88 Shaker Museum Road, Old Chatham. while the North Family historic site can be visited at 202 Shaker Road, New Lebanon. In 2004, the Shaker Museum began expanding to the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village in New Lebanon, New York, in an area of historic Shaker buildings located at the site of the former North Family of Shakers, north of Darrow School. Currently, the Museum operates programs and free guided tours of the site during the summer-fall season. The North Family's Great Stone Barn, built in 1859 and listed on the World Monuments Fund, is undergoing a large-scale stabilization and restoration through 2015.Historically, the New Lebanon Shaker village was the former home of Lucy Wright, head of the Shaker ministry 1796-1821, Isaac N. Youngs, who lived there 1807-1865, and Issachar Bates, a notable Shaker missionary who returned from the West in 1837 and died in 1837.The North Family was particularly known for its advocacy of equal rights for women, the peace movement, and spiritualism. They hosted a national peace convention in 1905.In addition, the North Family published a number of works from 1870 into the early twentieth century. Elder Frederick W. Evans and his cohort of editors, poets, and authors were responsible for more than a hundred tracts and broadsides which included not only theology but also topics ranging from pacifism to the benefits of sparrows, land limitation, and vegetarianism. Their more important works included:-- The Manifesto (1870-1899). Also known as The Shaker or Shaker and Shakeress.-- Mount Lebanon Cedar Boughs: original poems by the North family of Shakers (Buffalo: Peter Paul Company, 1895).-- White, Anna and Leila S. Taylor.
