About Shaker Historical Society

The Shaker Historical Society (SHS) is a community-based non-profit historical society and museum founded in 1947 to provide stewardship for our region's significant history. The museum is housed in the historic 1910 Myers Mansion in Shaker Heights, a nationally significant inner ring suburb located 20 minutes from Downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The building is situated on the grounds of a former apple orchard and vegetable garden of the North Union Shaker Village. SHS has three full-time employees and one part-time employee to organize year-round programming, exhibitions, and historical research. We serve residents of Shaker Heights and surrounding cities, local schools and retirement communities, and visitors from all over the globe.
