People visiting Enfield Shaker Museum are at once struck by its beauty and spirituality. This unique site is nestled between Lake Mascoma and Mount Assurance, with eight historic buildings. The Great Stone Dwelling, completed in 1841, may be the Shakers' most significant architectural achievement, with 20 rooms for overnight stays to enhance the visitors' experience. With so many buildings and acreage, the organization is naturally suited not only as a museum to preserve the heritaqge of the Shakers' history, but also to serve the public for meetings, retreats and other functions. Visitation increased by 41% in 2007.

The mission of the Enfield Shaker Museum, a not-for-profit educational institution, is to foster public knowledge and understanding of the cultural, religious, and economic history of New England by interpreting the complex and multi-faceted site settled by the Enfield Shakers. The Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the buildings, material culture, and landscapes produced and used both by the Shakers and by the Missionaries of La Salette. Through collections, research facilities, exhibits, and public programs, the Museum promotes discussion of the great existential questions of human life including community, spirituality, creativity, and economic activity.
