This map shows the layout of the Mill (sometimes referred to as "North") Family's settlement west of Lower Shaker Lake. The "Family" formed in 1829 as a subset of the North Union Shakers. They were tasked with operating the mills powered by the damming of the Doan Brook (which led to the creation of Lower Shaker Lake) in the mid-1820s. In addition to a saw and grist (or flour) mill, the Mill Family's property also contained a number of other farm buildings, as well as a single"family house" that contained living quarters. | Source: Shaker Historical SocietyDownload Original File
