Compelling History of an American Other
Podcast af South Union Shaker Village, historic site of the South Union Shakers
A podcast by South Union Shaker Village a museum dedicated to preserving the history of the Kentucky Shakers. Once marked as others, members of the United Society of Believers commonly known as Shakers reject many foundations of American culture, yet they have endured for more than two centuries. Taking a deep dive into the history of the South Union Shakers we reveal remarkable human stories not found in history textbooks. Exploring the trials and triumphs of these nineteenth century Americans, we share the stories of Shakers of distinction, those who lived lives of quiet service, and those who left the village for life anew.
