Now recruiting! Mother Ann wants YOU! Anyone interested in finding out more about this fascinating, nearly extinct, religious group? There are lots of different areas to delve into, including:

*their music
*their use of medicinal herbs to help support their communities
*their gorgeous furniture
*communal religious life in the 18th and 19th centuries
*their foundational belief in gender equality

Does anyone live near any of the Shaker settlements that are now museums or open to to the public? It would be wonderful if someone could take photos for our project so that we can avoid copyright issues by using other people's photos. Anyone up for that?

I'm afraid it won't be high on my priority list, but I can try to do this for you. I'd probably get around to photographing artifacts faster than buildings, though. Though actually, there's a small room from a Shaker church that's been relocated into a local museum that's only two towns from me, so I'll try to do that on my next visit there.
