The Shakers, a religious community
at Canterbury Shaker Village, were among the first in New Hampshire to own cars.
Their first car was a 1907 REO touring car. They showed a preference for large,
well-built vehicles which included a
7-passenger Atlas, a Model 40 Overland and a White truck. Later they bought a
Hudson, a Pierce Arrow and a Cadillac.
