The Shakers represent one of America's best-known and most successful communal societies, spanning the period from the late 18th century up until the present. They are sometimes portrayed as representing an extreme response to the appearance of the Industrial Revolution-essentially a rejection of the modern workplace-and yet they accepted technological change with great rapidity and were immensely successful in their craft manufactures and light industry. Nearly all Shaker villages were largely self-sufficient in the processing of raw materials, and most villages included one or more sawmills, grist mills, turning mills, carding mills, and other processing and manufacturing establishments. What may have been the most industrialized Shaker village, the one located in Canterbury, New Hampshire, has now been documented in detail, and historical records together with present-day surface evidence reveal the remains of a mill system that was once extensive and central to the village's economy.
