About Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky
Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky is a public group dedicated to sharing the beauty, charm, and simplicity of this historic cultural and geographic landmark.
From the Kentucky Atlas and Gazetteer:
"Pleasant Hill, also known as Shakertown, is in northeastern Mercer county near the Kentucky River. It was founded by members of the "Society of Believers in Christs Second Appearing," known as the Shakers [a strictly celebate offshoot of the Religious Society of Friends, Quakers] in 1805, and the community eventually reached a size of 4,500 acres and a population of about 500. It was disbanded in 1910 and the last Shaker resident died in 1923. After many years of private ownership, much of the land and many of the buildings were restored as a museum known as Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill."
