We’ll use a mix of traditional and modern materials, and by the end of the afternoon you’ll walk away with a completed footstool.

Whoo's out on the Preserve tonight? Multiple species of owls call Kentucky home, and Shaker Village's mixed woodland and prairie ecology is perfect habitat for these winged predators. We'll be using our senses to search for these elusive creatures on this evening hike, listening closely to see if any owls are vocalizing nearby.
