Description

On Shaker Road in Harvard’s Shaker Village stands a three-and-a-half story wood-framed building that once held a central place in the life of the Harvard Shaker Church Family. From 1840 until 1918, the building the Harvard Shakers called the New Office hosted the various business interests of the Harvard Church Family. It served as a dwelling for the Shaker trustees and office sisters, an inn for visitors, a retail store, and a gathering place where the Harvard Shakers could meet with their guests and with one another in a social setting.
