The Simple Gifts of Shaker Village
Just two hours south of Cincinnati's bustle, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill renews visitors with its authentic history and enduring sense of peace.
Costumed interpreters
Visitors can see craftspeople bend wood into oval boxes, spin yarn into fabric and weave straw into brooms, or watch soloists perform surprisingly peppy Shaker hymns. (The name Shaker actually refers to believers' spirited dancing.) Kids race to greet a storybook-perfect cast of farm animals behind pristine white fences, and in the warm-weather months, a horse-drawn wagon tour crunches along gravel paths.
