Contact the Wood-Mizer folks in Indianapolis. They market a portable sawmill that is popular. Ask them for possible sawmill operators in your area. I have seen a couple of these in Cincinnati area.

There are several Shaker community museums in the Cincinnati and Kentucky area.
However, the original residents haven’t been around for about a hundred years.

There are several thriving Amish communities in this part of the world.
However, they don’t do email. :)

First Shakers were of a religion that was you had to recruit.

“One obvious reason for the sect’s decline is that unlike other Utopian communities, it was not marriage-based, and thus did not renew its numbers with children born into families. Because Shakers were celibate, their communities could grow only by constantly bringing in new converts, but as the nineteenth century progressed, new converts were harder to come by. “

Can’t keep going with a sales pitch like that.
