The Shaker Historical Society is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, established in 1947 to preserve and promote the history of:
- North Union Village , one of 24 Shaker communities nationwide, originally located in what is today Shaker Heights and portions of Cleveland Heights . It was in operation from 1822 to 1889.
- Shaker Heights , a model, streetcar suburb that was planned and developed by Oris Paxton and Mantis James Van Sweringen in the first decades of the 20th century. Today, about three-quarters of Shaker Heights is on the National Register of Historic Places; and
- Warrensville Township , established in 1814.
