The Shaker Legacy

Sunday, September 13th at 2 PM

 At the Lempster Meetinghouse

 112 Lempster St.

In their more than two and a half centuries of existence, members of the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, commonly known as Shakers,  made ingenious contributions  to diverse fields:   agriculture, industry, medicine,  music, furniture design, women’s rights,   racial equality, craftsmanship, social  and religious thought, and mechanical   invention and improvement.  New Hampshire Humanities Council  scholar Darryl Thompson  who lived among the Shakers for many years  and served as a consultant to Ken Burns  in his documentary film The Shakers:  Hands to Work. Hearts to God  will present  The Shaker Legacy at the Lempster Meetinghouse. Mr. Thompson explores some of these contributions in his lecture and shares some of his personal memories of the Canterbury Shakers.

Refreshments will feature a variety of Shaker 

recipes baked by members of the Lempster 

Historical Society.

Discovering New England Stone Walls 

 

Why are we so fascinated with stone walls?  Kevin Gardner,  author of The Granite Kiss,  explains how and why New England  came to acquire its thousands of  miles of stone walls,  the ways in which they and  other dry stone structures were built,  how their styles emerged and changed over time  and their significance to the famous  New England landscape.  Along the way, Kevin occupies himself  building a miniature wall or walls on a  tabletop, using tiny stones from a  five-gallon bucket.
