    Description

    Docents/Tour Guides

    2026 is a big year for our nation, and an especially big year at Shaker Heritage Society. We're not only celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, but also the 250th anniversary of the arrival of Ann Lee and the founding Shakers to our site, and the release of the major motion picture, The Testament of Ann Lee, based on that very topic. The year will inevitably bring an increased interest in history, and especially the Shaker's place in it. We are seeking docents to help with the anticipated increase in demand for tours this spring.
