Are there still practicing Shakers today?

As of 2025 only one active Shaker village—Sabbathday Lake, near New Gloucester, Maine—remained in existence and had three members. The Shaker movement declined precipitously in the 19th and early 20th centuries due to changes in spiritual needs, as well as the movement’s insistence on celibacy and opposition to childbearing. Many of the closed villages have been maintained as museums.
