  • Cover photo description:
  • This structure, which probably dates to the 1790s, was situated near the dairy barn complex so that raw milk could be easily brought for processing. The production of butter and cheese was the work of Shaker Sisters, who also milked the community’s herd. Dairy products were one of the leading commodities made by the Hancock Shakers from the earliest days of the community into the twentieth century. The Dairy is situated over a natural spring that supplies cold water to a stone basin where milk products were set to cool. Butter was hand churned by the Sisters until June of 1894. The second floor of the Dairy was added sometime after 1820 and was used as a weave loft. The Sisters wove cloth for clothes, wove rugs, and made bonnets.
