About

Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury, New Hampshire is one of the best-preserved Shaker communities in America—25 original 1792–1878 buildings on 694 rolling New Hampshire acres including the Meetinghouse, Dwelling House, schoolhouse, laundry, and numerous craft shops arranged around immaculate village common. The pristine white clapboard architecture, millponds, orchards, and sweeping New Hampshire countryside create 19th-century New England pastoral perfection requiring minimal set dressing for period productions. Both interior Shaker domestic spaces and extensive exterior grounds available for filming with institutional authorization. Winter exclusive access available. Perfect for 19th-century New England period drama, Shaker-era spiritual narrative, and productions requiring the distinctive Shaker aesthetic of functional beauty and austere elegance. A premier New Hampshire film location for New England period storytelling. Filming permits available through Canterbury Shaker Village Film Office.
