Mount Lebanon Project

Preserving an American Icon
Adapting the North Family Site at Mount Lebanon
for the New Home of the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village

In 2001 the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village received a Save the America's Treasure grant to create a Master Plan for preserving and adapting the ten buildings and thirty acres of the North Family Site at Mount Lebanon, including the North Family Great Stone Barn-the largest stone barn in America-as the new home for the Museum and its collection. Since eighty percent of the collection originated at Mount Lebanon, this project reunites America's most comprehensive Shaker collection with America's most historically significant Shaker site.
