Reevaluation and updating of Canterbury Shaker Village’s site interpretation.

Canterbury Shaker Village (CSV) will create a new and more comprehensive, humanities-based program of historic site interpretation, one linking Shaker tenets and history to contemporary human rights and social justice issues. CSV proposes a 12-month project to (1) undertake and complete internal and external reviews of current site interpretation and related materials; (2) create an implementation plan for a more coherent and integrated interpretive program, one that includes a comprehensive training program for tour guides, volunteers, and staff; and (3) design a more visitor-responsive site map and create visitor materials linking CSV to the Town of Canterbury’s Center Historic District.
