Shaker Discovery Tours

Join us for a personalized view of the Shaker world on a one-hour tour led by experienced Village staff. Tours are offered each Wednesday at 10 am from June 21 to October 25.

The topic for August 2 is foodways. The Shakers grew and processed their own food, a major factor in their overall good health.  This tour will focus on the Shaker diet and dining practices through the centuries with a tour of the gardens and barns and a close look at the Brick Dwelling, especially its extraordinary kitchen. The tour will also visit the Sisters’ Dairy.

Pre-registration is required. Registration fee, which includes general admission to the Village, is $40/adults, $15/young people ages 6-17. 10% discount for HSV members. Not appropriate for children under 6.
