Shaker Farm

Shaker Farm is a historic farmstead on Dublin Road in Richmond, Massachusetts. Its farmhouse was built around 1795 by Daniel Hand of New Lebanon, New York, and displays a number of examples of Shaker craftsmanship. The property is notable as the subject of a book by the Andrewses, The Fruits of the Shaker Tree of Life, documenting its condition and restoration; the Andrewses acquired the property in 1937 and devoted the rest of their lives to collecting, documenting and promoting Shaker heritage. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and as of that year remained owned by Andrews descendants.
