Learn more about the Chef – Lindsay Smith:

Lindsay Smith returns to the Shaker Museum as Chef Lindsay! In previous years, Lindsay oversaw the Shaker Garden, worked as an administrative assistant, and one summer even worked in the gift shop when it was located in the old Laundry building. She has also been known to pop up a time or two as a penguin during the Shaker Snow Shoe Festival. These days, you can find Lindsay teaching cooking classes for the Hanover Co-op (and some for the museum), running her catering business and popular occasional dinner events {las vive}, helping at her mom’s b&B, and running (or hiking) with her rescue dog Marley.
