Nor are Shakertown, Kentucky; Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts; or Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in Maine.
They were all once communal settlements of an ultra-strict religious sect that got its name from its followers' exuberant dancing.
There are only two, possibly three members of the Shaker religious band still alive. Nobody outside the private community where the women are cared for in Maine knows the number for sure.
238 years ago, Ann Lee, the charismatic British founder of the sect -- formally called the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing -- moved, along with eight of her followers, to the United States.
Together, they began founding communal settlements from Maine in the Northeast to Kentucky in the mid-South.
Onlookers called them "Shakers" as they watched these true believers twitch and clap loudly -- shaking off the sins of the world as they sang and danced.
President James Monroe, who stopped at a Shaker settlement in the 1820s, noted in his journal that in his words, "The singers began increasing the violence of their actions as they were warmed by the spirit."谢克海茨是俄亥俄州克利夫兰市最时髦的郊区之一，这个名字既不是以某种食物搅拌器也不是以夏克尔先生的名字来命名的。
不是肯塔基州的震教镇，也不是马萨诸塞州的汉考克震教村，更不是缅因州沙贝斯戴湖畔的震教村。
它们都曾是极端严厉的宗教派别的公共定居点，并且都因其追随者们那极具活力的舞蹈而得名。
目前大概只有两名抑或三名震教乐队的成员还活着。在缅因州，只有这个女性受尊重的私人定居点里的人才确切知道活着成员的具体数量。
238年前，具有神赐能力的英国宗派创始人安•李与她的八名追随者迁居美国，该教派之后被正式称为基督再现信徒联合会。
从东北部的缅因州到中南部的肯塔基州，他们通过共同努力创建了这些公共定居点。
群众称他们为“震教徒”，因为他们看到这些忠实信徒震动身体、大力拍手，好像是要通过他们的歌唱和舞蹈来摆脱这个世界的罪恶一般。
19世纪20年代，总统詹姆斯•门罗停留在一个震教徒的定居点。在他的日记里，他这样写道：“这些歌者们开始增加他们行动的强度，因为他们被崇高的精神所温暖着。”
