On Saturday, October 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Canterbury Shaker Village will host a Vintage and Antique Car Show featuring classic automobiles and a pop-up exhibit on Shaker cars.

Presented in partnership with the Granite Region chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA), the event will feature “dozens of stunning antique and vintage cars.” “This will be a family-friendly outing set against the backdrop of beautiful fall foliage,” said Village Education Manager Kyle Sandler.

The event will also feature an informational display at the Dry House, generally not open to the public, highlighting the work of the Village’s last Shaker Brother, Irving Greenwood, in the early 20th century. “The exhibit will provide a unique glimpse into how the Canterbury Shakers embraced early automotive culture,” said Sandler.

Adult admission is $5 for the Car Show and $25 for interpretive tours (including access to the special event). To buy tickets, or learn more about the Shakers, visit shakers.org.

Designated as a National Historic Landmark for its architectural integrity and significance, the Village features 25 restored original Shaker buildings, four reconstructed Shaker buildings, and 694 acres of forests, fields, gardens, nature trails, and mill ponds under permanent conservation easement. The Village is a member of the NH Heritage Museum Trail, which connects the public with culturally rich heritage institutions in New Hampshire. For more information, visit nhmuseumtrail.org.
