This Shaker community at Lebanon OH was the center of the frontier
Shaker settlements (according to the informations I have collected - I
drive past it most times going down to the Stonelick Church).

There were other daughter communities up near Lake Erie (Shaker
Heights), over in Indiana, and down in Kentucky (Shakerstown, below
Lexington -which they have established as a State Park/Memorial).
