Most of us have heard of The Shakers, but do we really know what they are about and where they come from? We're taking a look at the history of the Shaking Quakers, from their start with Mother Ann in the 17-hundreds all the way up to modern times here in New England. Mike's guests are Darryl Thompson, a Shaker historian who has lived with the Canterbury Shakers in New Hampshire for over three decades, and Shery Hack, Director of Programs and Collections at the Canterbury Shaker Village. Other guests TBA.
