Shaker Village

We spent the most beautiful day with Mom / Nana at Shaker Village outside Pleasant Hill, KY, about an hour's drive from here. When I (Jennifer) was a child, our family stopped here on a road trip vacation to the east coast. It was so good to get to go back again with Mom and my own kids, too. What a charming place!







They have people in costume showing and explaining how the Shakers lived here in the 1800's. This man was a cobbler and was making shoes using wooden pegs instead of nails. He gave each of us a chance to drive a peg into the sole of a shoe. It's harder than it looks!

A big, huge thank you to Nana for a memory-making day!
