Did you know that the Shakers were some of the first Protestant Christians in America to celebrate Christmas? For nearly 200 years, the Shakers have observed Christmas as a day of great spiritual importance. Many of their traditions have evolved over time - from fasting and prayers in the 1700s to festive decorations and scrumptious feasts in the 1900s.

Join us for a candlelit tour through several of our historic buildings while they are festively decorated for the holidays. Together we'll trace the progression of the Shakers' beliefs and practices, gaining a deeper understanding of the history of Christmas in America.

General Admission: $15

Members receive a 20% discount.

This program will traverse approximately 0.5 mile of graveled, level terrain and will climb and descend several flights of stairs. Participants should be comfortable walking and navigating stairs in low light/semi-dark conditions. The program will proceed rain or shine, although the route may be modified in case of inclement weather.

Registered attendees who book an overnight stay at The Inn receive a 30% discount, applied at checkout. (Overnight stay must be for the date immediately preceding or succeeding the program. Discount applies to one night. Cannot be combined with other offers. Overnight stay must be booked through Shaker Village and not through a 3rd party website.)

All tickets are non-transferrable and non-refundable.

Christmas ornaments at Shaker Village

Why spend time buying expensive holiday decorations when you can make your own? Taking our inspiration from nature, we'll use easily-sourced natural and recycled items to create beautiful, handmade decorations. We'll explore some of the Shakers' Christmas traditions - and their frugal use of their natural resources - as we transform oranges into pomander balls, pine cones into ornaments, twigs into Christmas trees, and much more. Participants will make 4-5 different ornaments during this workshop.

General Admission: $60
