Stock Photo: Interior Room Of Hancock Shaker Meetinghouse

More than three hundred members of Hancock’s six communal families met here on Sundays in good weather at the height of Shakerism in this area. They worshiped privately in themornings but welcomed visitors to public afternoon meetings, always hoping to attract new converts. The building’s construction enabled the large open dance floor. Hanging platforms enabled the raising or lowering of candles. Note the absence of a cross, alter stained glass or other religious symbols. Built-in benches around the walls were for worldly visitors.
