A lovely place on beautiful Mascoma Lake. It's great just to walk around, especially in autumn.

Stay overnight, enjoy Shaker architecture and sensibility from the inside. Hike up to Smith Pond, savor fresh cider at the harvest festival. Friendly people, rustic interiors, gratuitous coffee, I'd come again.

The main building on this property is quite impressive. The tour though long was good. The docent was very willing to answer questions and quite knowledgeable about the history.Price for entry: $14
The Enfield Shaker Museum site features 10 historic buildings on 21 acres of land, including the impressive Great Stone Dwelling and the ornate Mary Keane Chapel (built by the La Salette Catholic Brotherhood).
The Museum offers permanent and rotating exhibits, guided or self-guided tour options, craft workshops and demonstrations, herb and community gardens, educational programming and events (like our "Grow your own Pharmacy" garden class), hiking trails and a Museum Gift Shop.
The impressive six story Great Stone Dwelling is home to our overnight rooms. Each room has Shaker built-ins, reproduction Shaker furniture, private bathrooms and queen bed(s). Overnights include a free Museum tour and access to on-site hiking trails.
