For the Shakers, temptation and sin lurked just around the corner! A plethora of rules governed all aspects of life in the community - from when brethren and sisters could meet socially to what foods were acceptable on the dinner table. We'll share stories about the naughtier side of life at Pleasant Hill on this stroll through our historic buildings, which ends with some forbidden foods - including a Shaker Village signature cocktail.
