Shaker Heritage Society, Albany NY

Lots of construction, but the people that volunteer their time are awesome and the information sharing is top notch.

Such an interesting place with such deep history. Highly recommend taking a stop by to visit and learn a bit about the Shakers.

Went for the art show opening and the artist was so welcoming and had a great time

A very enjoyable walk while learning how the shakers community lived. Each building tells the story through an audio recording. Anne Lee pound is part of the walk and behind it there are easy trails. It is like a mini oasis in the city, right next to the airport and behind wolf road one of the main streets in Colonie. Old brick buildings full of history, the gift shop sell traditional items and in the summer they have outdoor theater and art and craft fairs.

Beautiful spot right near the airport (which apparently is built on Shaker land). Saw some huge heritage turkeys. Kinda stumbled on this place going for a walk behind the hotel near the airport. I was trying to get to the Ann Lee pond.finding the rest was a treat! It was closed when I visited but I was able to walk around the property anyways.

I had a wonderful time visiting this beautiful historical site. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the Shakers' history. If you have the chance, be sure to also visit the nearby Shaker cemetery, which is a truly unique and meaningful experience.
