Having lived the bulk of my adult life close to South Union, Ky (The site of the Ky Shaker colony), I’ve learned quite a bit about this cult. But to answer your question, I would say that New Hampshire would be the “Shaker State”.This cult died out because they believed on complete separation of the sexes. Growth relied on converts to the faith.

Years? I disagree. If it took years to learn to drive a steam engine then there would never have been railroads.
