Exhibit Opening: Pieces of Pleasant Hill

You're invited to join us for the opening of our latest exhibit, Pieces of Pleasant Hill: Objects + Stories!

Do you have a favorite Shaker artifact?  When you think of Pleasant Hill, do any special objects come to mind? With Shakers living in this community for well over a century, the Pleasant Hill artifact collection is as diverse and varied as the Shaker experience.

Pieces of Pleasant Hill highlights Shaker Village's artifact and archival collection, and encourages visitors to think critically about what, and why, we collect.  Featuring over 20 artifacts, some familiar and some that have never been displayed before, this exhibit will help visitors piece together the daily lives of the Pleasant Hill Shakers by exploring the items they left behind.

Assistant Program Manager, and content creator for "Pieces of Pleasant Hill" Maggie McAdams will provide opening remarks and answer questions about the exhibit during the event.
