Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill 2022-09-14 - Harrodsburg, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold. Veronica writes, "Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill hosted home school day on Tuesday, September 13th. Fall weather made an outdoor field trip perfect. The grounds are very well maintained and over a dozen historic buildings are open to the public to explore. The one in the photograph was built in 1824 and is in remarkable condition. Guests can go down to the basement or take the stairs all the way up the 4th floor. Lots of information placards on the walls all over the village. Happy exploring this fall!" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
