Tea and Conversation

All welcome!
Bring your favorite teacup!
Hope to see you there!
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.
