Shaker Historical Society

Shaker Historical Society

The Shaker Historical Society is a non-profit organization, established in 1947 to provide stewardship for our region’s significant history by nurturing respectful discovery, preservation, collection, and public dissemination of the history, traditions, and heritage of the Shaker sect, Shaker Heights, Warrensville Township, and the surrounding areas.

The home of The Shaker Historical Society is situated on the grounds of the former North Union Center Family’s apple orchard and vegetable garden and was the former home of Louis Myers, a real estate agent for the Van Sweringen Company, and his wife, Blanche. From the Myers Mansion we operate a museum, a public research library and archives, an art gallery, a local gift shop and community garden beds.

ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBILITY INFO: An ADA ramp and designated handicapped parking spot are located behind the museum.

Please note our historic building is not entirely ADA accessible and there is no ADA bathroom. Most of our exhibits and events are on the main floor of the house, which can be accessed via the ADA ramp at the back of the museum, but there is no lift or elevator to access the second floor. All rooms on the first floor are on the same level except a very small step down to access the Spirit Tree Gift Shop, which was formerly the sun porch. For those with limited mobility who wish to access the second floor, there are thirteen steps up to the landing and then another five steps up to the second floor galleries.

PARKING INFO

Parking is available in the lot behind the museum. Cyclists may park their bikes at racks near the main entrance. Drivers may park facing the garage. A designated handicapped parking space is located near the ADA ramp and entrance. If the lot is full, visitors may park on the north side of South Park Blvd (opposite the museum).
