CANTERBURY — Canterbury Shaker Village was awarded a $60,000, 3-year grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The grant will help further the Village’s mission to preserve the 200-year legacy of the Canterbury Shakers, and to provide a place for learning, reflection, and renewal.
“We are enormously grateful for this multi-year operations grant from New Hampshire Charitable Foundation,” said Leslie Nolan, executive director. “This important grant will buttress our efforts as we continue to move forward and offer relevant programs, and restore the Village’s 30 historic buildings.”
Support from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation will be used over the next three years to cover operations of the Village, including maintaining its National Historic Landmark buildings. Trail maps of the Village’s nearly 700 acres of grounds, trails, and gardens are planned for 2021, along with new outdoor concert events.
Canterbury Shaker Village is located at 288 Shaker Road in Canterbury, just south of Laconia and north of Concord. For more information, visit www.shakers.org, or call 603-783-9511 x 205.
