June Carpenter

June Carpenter (born 1938) is an American Sabbathday Lake Shaker.[1][2]

Life

She came from Brookline, Massachusetts. In 1987, she converted at 49 years old. Before becoming a Shaker she worked in library sciences.[3] After volunteering in the Shaker Library in New Gloucester, Maine, she decided to join the faith.[4]

Today she is one of only three living members of the Shaker faith living and working in Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village; along with Brother Arnold Hadd. They along with community volunteers operate a farm, a store, and provide tours of the Village.[5]

Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village is being renovated with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.[6] Part of the grant will be used to restore the herb drying house.[7]
