| This was a barn where they kept farm equipment and wagons and animals |
 |
| These were the dorms where the people lived. Women and girls in one building-men and boys in the other |
 |
| They said they added a building every year when they first came |
 |
| This is the meeting hall. Women on one side-men on the other-dancing in the middle |
 |
| The leaders lived here. The two elders lived on one floor and 2 eldresses on the other. Regular members lived in the dorms. |
 |
| This was their sewing area. They had electricity and other modern conveniences but seemed to dress much like the Quakers or Mennonites did. |
 |
| The Shakers had a reputation for making good and simple quality products and were famous around the area for their goods |
 |
| This was in the Elders and Eldresses building |
 |
| Inside of the barn. Now used for special activities |
 |
| Canning, candles, honey and other goods were made here |
 |
| This was the school room. Both boys and girls attended |
