Shaker Village is closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in observance of the holidays.

We wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

"...the order of God requires that on Christmas day Believers should make perfect reconciliation, one with another; and leave all grudges, hard feelings, and disaffection one toward an other, eternally behind on this day; and to forgive as we would be forgiven; and nothing which is this day settled, or which has been previous to this, may hereafter be brought forward against another."

- Edward and Faith Andrews, The Order of Christmas. NY: Oxford Press, 1954

Time: 10:00 am  to  1:00 pm

Virtual Eco-Ornaments

Saturday, December 19 @ 10:00 am - Noon
Christmas ornaments at Shaker Village

Holiday decorations can be expensive, messy, and harmful to the environment. In this workshop guests will learn to make beautiful, simple, even scented decorations using non-harmful materials you can find around your house, and in your neighborhood.

Due to the current pandemic and recommendations laid out by Governor Beshear, this workshop will be held virtually, using the Zoom platform. This is the best way to ensure we are all staying safe and still having some fun.

We will be mailing out packets with all the necessary materials before the program date along with instructions on how to join the Zoom video call. The live Zoom session will allow us to assemble the ornaments together step-by-step, and give you an opportunity to ask questions as we go.

Families are encouraged to participate. Adults and children of all ages will have fun learning about holiday traditions while making their own decorations.

Cost:

Annual Passholder: $25
Non-Annual Passholder:
$30

Family Rate (one ticket for up to four family members): Add an additional $20 to Annual/Non-Annual rate

Ticket Sales Closed

Program fee includes one complimentary admission to Shaker Village and one voucher redeemable for 20% off dining at The Trustees’ Table (excluding alcoholic beverages). Dining reservation recommended to assure availability, call 859.734.5411.
