Bee House Grand Reopening at Canterbury Shaker Village

Description

Canterbury Shaker Village's Bee House reopens on Saturday, August 29th with a brand-new exhibition on Shaker agriculture, accompanied by a community event. The Bee House (originally built in 1837) was a node of agricultural processing for the Canterbury Shakers, that shifted in response to the needs of the community over generations. Now the Bee House will be used as an interpretive space for the first time in many years, an exciting prospect the museum welcomes in its mission to educate visitors about the Canterbury Shakers. To celebrate, the Village invites friends and families to visit the new exhibition and enjoy an afternoon of talks, tours, and demonstrations centered around bees and agriculture, including programming from Sanborn Mills Farm, UNH Extension, McCormack's Bee Farm, Elkins Public Library, and FLDWTRS Press. There will also be food trucks, a beer garden, and a farmer's market. The event is free, as well as admission and tours for the day, thanks to Grappone Automotive.
