Description

When the Shakers built their Great Stone Dwelling, it stood as a testament to, and a symbol of, the hope and faith of the Enfield Shakers. It was built to last an eternity, and the structure actually outlasted the Shakers themselves. Robert P. Emlen takes us inside the Shakers' everlasting monument.
