Shakers in Hayward, CA is a local organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Shaker community. With a history dating back to 1783, Shakers is home to the only active Shaker Community in the world. They offer a range of educational and cultural experiences, including daily operations, folk traditions demonstrations, and master classes, all deeply rooted in herbalism, agriculture, culinary arts, and traditional crafts.
Shakers is currently undergoing a major capital campaign to expand their public cultural programming. The campaign aims to raise $4.3 million, with a $750,000 Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This grant will support the rehabilitation of the Shaker Herb House Cultural Traditional Arts Center, which will serve as a year-round educational and cultural space, providing production rooms, studio-classrooms, and unique learning experiences for local audiences and students.
