The Shaker Museum is a cultural institution focused on Shaker material culture, aiming to bring Shaker values and beliefs to life and encourage reflection on social, economic, environmental, and spiritual issues. It houses what is described as the most comprehensive collection of Shaker material culture and archives, and is regarded as a national leader among organizations devoted to Shaker history. The museum oversees the historic Shaker site in New Lebanon, New York, and maintains a year-round campus in Old Chatham, New York, where administrative offices, a library, and archives are housed, with access by appointment. Based in New York state, it serves researchers, scholars, educators, and visitors interested in Shaker heritage, providing a resource to explore the culture's artifacts and context. In March 2026, the museum announced the appointment of Roby Harrington to its Board of Directors.
