  • Check out the collection by Vicky Cimprich, "Pretty Mothers Home". You will not find a better description of the time and the place through the eyes of a young girl who chooses a life among the people. Vicky lives in N Kentucky and did her research at Pleasant Hill. Her work is amazing and no one who reads it will ever forget it.

  • Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill is a gorgeous, fascinating, educational destination. The employees are friendly and welcoming, and there are regular special events, demonstrations, and explanations. They show a terrific film on Shakers there. We recommend it highly! --The Great American Dollhouse Museum

  • That's true. 4 (or maybe five now), and many volunteers that help make the place run.  It's pretty nifty. There are hundreds of acres including the original orchards and a lake surrounded by wooded hills.

  • And I think it's inhabited only by 4 people, is it?

  • Loved Pleasant Hill, Kentucky! Went two springs ago and pictures were allowed everywhere we went. I, too live in Maine next to the last Shakers in the world.

  • I live like 20 miles away from Shakertown of Pleasant Hill. When I went it was a woman demonstrating, and she specifically asked that no pictures or video & audio recording devices be used. So this is very interesting.

  • We have stayed in the Shaker Village, Pleasant Hill (it was a great experience!) - but we did not make it to the music demonstration. So, many thanks for posting!

  • Interesting. I live along the coast of southern Maine, approx. 25 miles away from a working Shaker village. Not operated by a trust, but operated by the Shakers themselves. It is the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester, Maine: the last working Shaker community in the world.
