Shaker Museum at South Union
Shaker Museum at South Union, Historical religious museum in Auburn, Kentucky.
The Shaker Museum occupies a 40-room Centre House from 1824, containing original artifacts that demonstrate the community's manufacturing techniques and daily routines.
The Shaker settlement began operations in 1807 as a religious community focused on equality and communal living, continuing their activities until closure in 1922.
The museum displays extensive collections of Shaker furniture, textiles, and agricultural implements that represent their commitment to functionality and clean design principles.
Located one mile south of US-68 on KY-1466, the museum remains open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours.
The museum complex spans 9.5 acres and maintains multiple original structures, including a preserved 19th-century Centre Family dwelling listed in the National Register.
