White Shaker Meetinghouse at Hancock Village #170974646
Description
More than three hundred members of Hancockââ¬â¢s six communal families met here on Sundays in good weather at the height of Shakerism in this area. They worshiped privately in the mornings but welcomed visitors to public afternoon meetings, always hoping to attract new converts. The present Meetinghouse was built by the Shirley, Massachusetts Shaker community in 1793, purchased and moved to Hancock in 1962.
