The Historic Centre

Discover Your Pioneering Spirit

Shaker Village is home to a remarkable story. The Pleasant Hill Shakers are recognized for their iconic architecture, skilled craftsmanship and profound spirituality, but the story doesn’t end there. During a 105-year span, the Pleasant Hill Shakers constructed more than 260 structures on the property. Today, there are 34 surviving buildings, most located along the mile-long gravel turnpike.

Discover the Shaker Village story at your own pace throughout The Historic Centre. Explore their impressive spaces, priceless artifacts, and curious lessons through a seasonal calendar of every day and special adventures. Then, head over to The Farm to meet the animals and out into The Preserve to explore 3,000 acres of discovery!
