Shaker Discovery Tour: Foodways

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 26 through October 30.

The topic for July 31 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.
