What the Round Barn tells us about the Shakers: (1) They were lovers of innovation: Round promoted easy in-and-out flows. (2) They were egalitarian: Round meant no one ever brought up the rear. (3) They were true believers: Round meant life was without beginning or end. (4) They were asexual: Round meant they were never tempted by dark corners. [2019]
