About Us
Our Mission
The mission of the Shaker Swamp Conservancy is to preserve the Shaker Swamp as a unique and defining asset of the Lebanon Valley, to promote understanding of this natural resource and its human heritage, and to create related opportunities for public access, education, and recreation.
Our history
In 2007 we gathered a local team of historians, preservationists, archaeologists, botanists, organizers, and constituents to find out if there was a story here and how telling it could benefit New Lebanon and our region.
About The Swamp
The Shaker Swamp is a 400-acre freshwater wetland located at the foot of the Taconic mountain range in eastern Columbia County, New York. This massive wetland is located in New Lebanon, a central crossroads connecting the Hudson Valley to western new England.
