Sabbathday Lake

The Boston Globe takes a sympathetic look at the present-day lives of the last remaining Shakers.

I feel a certain sympathy for their way of life, but I'd have a hard time swallowing their religious doctrines.

Apropos of nothing... I wonder if they worry about people showing up and pretending to convert just in order to make themselves the heirs-presumptive of what has evidently become a very valuable piece of real estate?
