For more than 100 years, the Shakers of Pleasant Hill managed without electricity, lighting their community with candles and lamps. On this special, lantern-lit evening tour, we’ll follow in the footsteps of the Shakers and experience their buildings by flickering candlelight. Join us for an evening of stories about life at Pleasant Hill after dark!

Pleasant Hill After Dark is intended for ages 12+. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets required for guests aged 5+.

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.

All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable

Goodnight farm, goodnight big black barn. Goodnight ducks and sheep. Hush, it's time to sleep.

As evening falls, it's time for us to say goodnight to Shaker Village - the buildings and barns, the sheep and goats in their fields, the chickens in the coop, and the cows in the pasture. In this special program, designed for our youngest guests, we'll go through Shaker Village's bedtime rituals, learning about our working farm and our historic buildings as we say goodnight.

Annual Passholder: $10
General Admission: $15
Ticket Insurance: $5

Goodnight Shaker Village is intended for ages 3-8. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets required for guests aged 3+.

This program will take place outdoors ​throughout the Historic Centre and The Farm. Participants will traverse 0.25-0.5 miles on crushed stone, gravel, and grass. The program will proceed rain or shine, although the content may be modified in case of inclement weather.

Worried about the weather? Looking for additional flexibility? Our ticket insurance lets you reschedule your experience to any other night with available tickets as long as Shaker Village is notified 24 hours in advance. This add-on is required for each ticket, not per transaction. All tickets are non-refundable.
