The Shakers & Their Furniture

September 19, 2008

with George Bodycoat

George Bodycoat...
related the history of the Shakers to a record crowd in the Town Hall Meeting Room on Friday evening, September 19th.  He spoke in depth about their inspirational leader, Mother Ann Lee, their religious beliefs and practices, their austere, industrious lifestyle and work ethic, and their incredible hand-crafted, no-frills, functional furniture.

 

Thanks to Bob Grigg for the photos.
