The village is dedicated to preserving Shaker culture and offers a range of educational programs, workshops, and community events centered on herbalism, traditional crafts, and agricultural practices.

The Shaker Herb House Cultural Center, a significant addition to the village, serves as a year-round educational hub with over 8,000 square feet of space for production and traditional arts. This center aims to engage the local community and provide unique learning experiences for nearly 100,000 students within a 60-mile radius.
