About this campaign

When Mother Ann Lee outlined her theology for the community that would become known as the Shakers, she placed equality at its heart. As the nature of God was dual, both male and female, the children of God were to be companions, celibate brothers and sisters, each representing a share of God's image. This fundamental precept shaped gender relations within the Shaker communities, leading to dual offices in which men and women worked in tandem. But it wasn't enough for the Shakers to enact gender equality in their own communities. Called to serve their fellow man, the Shakers took to heart the call for women's suffrage. The 1884 Shaker Manifesto (quoting the resolutions of the Annual Meeting of the New England Woman Suffrage Association) denounced 'the political aristocracy of sex as contrary to nature, reason, justice, expediency and common-sense." This exhibition traces the evolution of Shaker gender relations, from the earliest prophecies of Mother Lee to the struggles of Shakers in the fight for universal suffrage.

The mission of Shaker Museum │ Mount Lebanon is to engage and inspire local, national, and global audiences by telling the story of the American Shakers.

THE COMMITMENTS OF SHAKER MUSEUM │ MOUNT LEBANON ARE TO:

Steward the Shaker material legacy—the Museum’s artifacts and archives and Mount Lebanon’s historic buildings and landscape—through collecting, conserving, preserving, protecting, documenting, and restoring.

Create a museum at Mount Lebanon that fosters a community of inquiry, re-imagines how visitors interact with Shaker history, and unites the world’s most comprehensive Shaker collections with the most important historic Shaker site.

Share with diverse audiences the individual and collective stories of the Shakers and their contributions to society—including religion, equality, communal living, pacifism, design, craft, and technology—through innovative and collaborative programs, public media content, and exhibitions.
