Shaker Troublemakers Evening Tour

Friday & Saturday Evenings | July & August | 6 p.m.
Civil War Era with former Shaker

Once a Shaker, Sam “One-Armed” Berry is pictured here (l) with the infamous Civil War era outlaw Jerome Clarke.

Guided by the Millennial Laws, the Shakers have become famous for their emphasis on collective order and purity. At Pleasant Hill, hundreds of men and women joined a religious community and lived in peace and harmony—except, when they didn’t! This summer, visit Shaker Village to uncover the disputes that sometimes erupted within the normally tranquil society.

Annual Passholder: $10
