Support Shaker Village

For six decades, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill has welcomed guests to explore and discover the lessons of the Shaker legacy. This wouldn’t be possible without the vision and dedication of a group of passionate individuals who banded together to save this historic site in 1961.

You can ensure the viability of Kentucky’s largest National Historic Landmark for the next 60 years. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund today.
