About Us

Our founders first met in 2001 to discuss what we could do to save this gem of Ohio's Shaker heritage. Since that meeting we have grown to about 230 members, and in 2007 took control of the North Family's eight acres and eleven historic buildings through a lease from the Hamilton County Park District
