Shaker Shed, Historical building and exhibition space at Shelburne Museum, United States
The Shaker Shed exhibits a collection of hand tools and household equipment within its timber-framed structure supported by five granite pillars.
The building, constructed in 1840 as a horse and carriage stand, underwent two expansions in 1850 and 1853 before its relocation to Shelburne Museum in 1951.
The structure represents the Shaker community's dedication to functionality, displaying various woodworking tools used by carpenters, joiners, cabinetmakers, and coopers throughout American history.
Visitors can examine the extensive collection of traditional American craftsmen tools, including specialized planes, saws, and barrel-making equipment inside the shed.
The building features traditional mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pins, allowing the structure to adapt naturally to changes in the wooden frame over time.
