I was just reading a children's book about Shaker living. I would like to take a field trip with my kids. THe story is based aroun the Lowell area as the mother needs to work at the mills and places her son with the shakers and the story is about him growing up and be coming a Shaker. Great peice of Massachussetts history.Hey guys. Good to see some fellow Massachusetts people here! I just started here. I'm from western Mass near Pittsfield. A lot of the chickens I deal with are at the place I work: Hancock Shaker Village. Recognize it? Any chickie people near me?
