Community Volunteer Day at Shaker Village May 11

NEW GLOUCESTER — The Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, home to the world’s only living Shakers, is opening its doors to friends and volunteers for a Community Work Day Saturday, May 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 707 Shaker Road.

Join the Shakers and their friends by helping with spring clean-up and chores throughout the historic buildings, barns, gardens and grounds. Spend the day enjoying the beauty and serenity of this 236-year old farm while putting your hands to work and walking in the footsteps of generations of Shakers before. Meet friendly people who come from Maine and across New England to join the Shakers in support of their enduring traditions.
All are welcome to the potluck dinner, served community-style, in the Shakers’ Dwelling House. Experience one of Maine’s most unique and enduring cultures. RSVP at friendsoftheshakers.org, info@maineshakers.com or call 207-926-4597.
