Another spot on the list shut down due to covid. But you can book private tours in advance. Unfortunately, that wasnt an option for us so we strolled the grounds with their self tour pamphlet. Very interesting place.

I didnt go in I just shot some photos around the beautiful campus

We actually stopped by to donate (i.e. bring home) a spinning wheel made in the 1850s at the Enfield Shaker village. The historian gave us a tour and we had a chance to hear how the Enfield community differed from the Canterbury, NH community that we are more familiar with. Good to get another perspective.

Fantastic tour. Well worth the visit. Make reservations and pay at website.

Enfield is a totally different experience from Canterbury, but just as interesting! Recommend you take the tour...the Great Stone Dwelling is amazing!

Very informative tour of the village and some beautiful hiking trails.

The garden is magnificent. The museum staff are knowledgeable and rich with information to share. If time, hike in the hills and see the dam and culverts built 150 plus years ago. Mascoma lake is also great for a quick swim. Its all possible right in this one spot.

Great place to get a history tour, the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable & Patient with kids and our questions. Amazing architecture and grounds.

Awesome museum and tour. Great gift shop with many cool books!

I was 1 of 3 people touring. Except for the women in the gift shop I only encountered 1 employee who was marginally friendly. It was like a morgue- very quiet & kinda spooky. I loved that you can rent the upstairs bedrooms! [A Night in the Museum] if you dare.

Stunning remote living museum. Great walking perfect for spring or fall days.

We came here for a Writer’s Retreat and spent 3 nights in the Great Stone Dwelling. It was the perfect spot for our get together - clean and well furnished. We would love to come back!

Great museum of Shaker history. Buildings are being restored or restoration is complete. Gift shop was nice with lots of Shaker novelties. We had a tour guide that was great and explained a lot of the Shaker life style and customs. Also a garden of fresh herbs to pick from. The chapel was extraordinary. Wonderful stained glass windows and architecture.

Awesome and very interesting. This was s a dying religion. Only two Shakers left alive today.

Didnt have time to see much of this museum but what I did see was very interesting. I know a lot more about Shaker history now. Beautifully preserved buildings and interiors. Ill definitely go back.

A wonderful overview of this facinating religious group. Very knowledgeable staff who provide great information about Shakers and can answer any questions. They display a wide range of artifacts and informational plaques that illustrate the daily lives of the people who lived in the village. The Catholic Church located next to the great stone house offer an interesting contrast of religious beliefs. My only wish was that there were more buildings to view.

Interesting Museum, several building being restored. Some interesting Shaker furniture pieces and artifacts.

A beautiful piece of history nestled in the bucolic Foothills of New Hampshire. Worth a visit for the museum and of course a stunning place for a wedding

There with school field trip. A lot of interesting information on the Shaker community and beautifully maintained.

The craftsmanship is amazing.

A really cool piece of NH history. I enjoy Enfield as a town in general, its very easy going and peaceful.

Beautiful structures!

Interesting history about the Shakers.

A beautiful venue for magical events, CJ the DJ enjoys hosting fundraisers and weddings at this historic treasure, one of New Hampshires finest. The Shakers had an interesting culture and were a huge part of New Englands past. #CJtheDJ #wedding #charity #shaker #museum

Nice guided tour. Some buildings were closed due to restoring.

Really neat place but wish the barn was set up better

Great place. Good price. Incredibly unexpected gem. Historical buildings. Explanation of the religion, and why they vanished! (No intercourse!) They were not against progress and even have parents to plant corn, selling machines all around the US at that time!

A well preserved and managed historic Shaker site. Feels almost alive. You can stay overnight in large, rustic but modernized rooms in great stone edifice of central importance to original village life, where daily tours and store are also located.

This museum has a staff that knows so much about the Shakers who inhabited this part of New Hampshire. One gets a real feel for the Shakers and third industrious nature after visiting this place. The garden is a delight as well, especially the lavender!

Its an interesting bit of history and story. However it costs $12 and there is very little to see. They are using the admission to rebuild. Shakers were an amazing people that are almost all gone so it was interesting.

Lots of history and very informative. Nice gift shop.

Expert guide. Great history

Interesting place.the staff are very nice and the history here is very interesting..I enjoyed my visit

Amazing part of Anerican history.

Beautiful and interesting place to spend a few hours

We had a lovely and interesting tour.

Staff are great and friendly and the rooms are beautiful

We stopped by this museum on the ride home with our 13 and 15 year old sons. The experience with our wonderful tour guide Joe far exceeded our expectations. His knowledge and enthusiasm taught us a great deal. It was a great history lesson. Thank you!

Excellent, informative guided tour of the museum. a nice contrast to the history and our visit a few days earlier to canterbury shaker village. we lucked out that the apple cider & cheese festival was on the same day and admission was included with the fee for the museum. fun time.

So cute! Love the events they have there.

Great place to look around

Shaker History, Caring Staff, and the Splendor of NH

Neat little cultural stop!

As an amateur student of the 19th century communal living movements, being able to get a much closer looks at the Shakers and their life was a real treat. The tour guide was amazingly enthusiastic, and was willing to discuss in detail many aspects of Shaker culture, as well as being knowledgeable about how the culture evolved over the years. If youre a student of history, GO GO GO. Its worth it.

Great place and history

Interesting but the Shakers make it obvious that they will tolerate you only enough to get into your wallet.

Wonderful museum to visit with an ever expanding exhibit section on local history and artifacts. Locals and tourists alike should definitely come by for a tour. Fasinating restoration work being completed on awestriking buildings with a beautiful backdrop of rolling hills, forest, and shimmering lakes. Workers are friendly, knowledgable, and eager to assist in any way they can.

A very interesting museum about an interesting Subject getting better at restoration is done.

Incredible place, beautiful location. Definitely worth the visit, the gift shop has some wonderful handmade Shaker products.

I love the museum. It steps back into history and has a lot of fun educational programs.

Great historic location. Ongoing archeological dig. Great hiking trails. Great place for meetings and celebrations

What a beautiful and memorable place. Attended a wedding here and had a blast. So beautiful.

Very unique, narrator quite articulate and personable

I loved coming here on school trips and love all the festivals they have it was very fun to be able to make brooms and try cheese and I like the ouctions too!

Nice place. Several buildings to see. I want my husband to build me a barn like the one in the childrens house. Stayed 2 nights

We got at least once or twice a season, esp the Spring forum in April

Very interesting and in-depth tour. Guides are extremely knowledgeable.

We has an outstanding guide.

Finally able to visit and learn what lies behind the great stone walls!

Visited for a wedding. A wonderful location to stay and visit.!

Very interesting!

Beautiful construction and the scenery is great. Attended a wedding here and it was gorgeous.

Great guide and glimpse into a quiet and productive way of life.

We just drove around but it was amazing to see the old architecture and buildings.

Great place for educational purposes

Its interesting but not amazing for little kids. They do many events for school age kids.

Georgeous place

Interesting

Great place.
