This is the site of America's first Shaker settlement. Visitors can enjoy a self guided tour of the Shaker herb garden, apple orchard and cemetery. The 1848 Shaker Meeting House is one of the most important Shaker buildings left standing. It contains a small exhibition about Shaker history as well as a gift shop. Eight other historic Shaker buildings are still standing at the site but are not yet open to the public. Albany County purchased the site when the Shaker community closed in the 1920s. The County built a nursing home at the site and used the facility up until 2006 when it closed the home. The Society developed an award winning site master plan to guide the future use of the site.
