Lexington photographer Carol Peachee has photographed Pleasant Hill for more than four decades, capturing unique and intimate views of this iconic Shaker community. In 2024, her work was published by The University Press of Kentucky as Shaker Made: Inside Pleasant Hill's Shaker Village. Shaker Village is proud to host an exhibit of selected works from Peachee’s book, including vibrant color prints never before exhibited at Pleasant Hill.

Carol Peachee is a fine art photographer and psychotherapist whose photographic work explores cultural and natural heritage. She was awarded the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation's Clay Lancaster Heritage Education Award, a Governor's Award for Innovative Programming, and an Art Meets Activism grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women. Her books, Kentucky Barns: Agricultural Heritage of the Bluegrass, The Birth of Bourbon: A Photographic Tour of Early Distilleries, and Straight Bourbon: Distilling the Industry's Heritage, are the recipients of multiple IPPY and Foreword INDIES awards. Her photographs have also appeared in Kentucky Bourbon Country: The Essential Travel Guide and LensWork Publishing: Trilogies 2022.
