Tanning was one of the most successful industries of the New Lebanon, N.Y., Shakers since their community was established in 1787. In 1807, additions were made to the 18th century tannery building, including new machines for rolling leather. A splitting machine was added in 1813, followed by numerous technological improvements throughout the years, including the use of a wheel to mill hides in 1840 and a steam boiler to speed the tanning process in 1850. By 1875, the Tillotson Tannery in Pittsfield, Mass. was beginning to corner the market in the area and the Shaker tannery began its decline.
