During the village's 115-year history, the Shakers constructed over 200 buildings, worked 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) of farmland, and produced garden seed, fruit preserves, brooms, baskets, rugs, linen, hats, bonnets and silk to be used both within the community and sold to the outside world.

One of the best known Shaker songs today, "Love is little," originated at South Union during the 1830s.

There, they established an interracial monastery, the first of its kind in the United States.
