shaker burial site getting respect

forget that they put a farm team baseball club stadium 50 feet from the grave of the Mother Anne Lee. the coke addict who's idea it was went to jail for embezzlement and they tore the stadium down eventually. the state of new york is funding the restoration of anne lee pond so the beavers can once again create a natural habitat. the roadways are reconfigured near the pond, grave sites and settlement community creating a larger historic site. Wisdom Valley located outside of albany, new york was the original shaker community in the 'new' world.
