Shaker Farm Day

Step into South Union during the 1870 harvest season. Talk to some of Kentucky’s most talented artisans as they demonstrate Shaker farm chores and craft making. See wool spun into yarn and woven into cloth. Pitch in with farm chores as you shell corn or make butter. Smell the smoke as meat is preserved and feel the warmth of bees wax as you dip candles. Hear the pound of metal at the black smith’s anvil, the strains of Shaker songs from the South Union Quartet, and skillfully woven tales from a seasoned storyteller. Smile as you watch children playing games of old.

Fee: $7 adults, $2 children (6-12), Free for children under six.
