3,000 acres of rolling hills, natural beauty, and soul-nourishing activities await at Shaker Village in Harrodsburg, KY. It’s worth the hour-and-a-half-drive.

During your visit:

  • Explore the sprawling organic farm, hiking trails + exhibitions in historic Shaker buildings.
  • Savor seed-to-table meals with food grown on-site.
  • Unwind in one of 72 historic suites, rooms, or cottages.

Pro tip: Plan your trip around one of their many upcoming events: Spirit Strolls, horse-drawn wagon rides, Music on the Lawn, + painting and blacksmithing demonstrations. See what you’ve been missing.
