About this business

History Established in 1961. After the Shakers were gone, the buildings and property passed into private hands. For the next 37 years, the buildings changed hands many times and the furnishings were dispersed. In early 1961, a ground swell of interest in saving these historic structures brought on the formation of an organization to acquire and restore them. That same year, Shakertown at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, Inc., was formed as a nonprofit, educational corporation.

Chef Amber and team are second to none!! Every dish and dining experience we have had in the past 6 months have been outstanding!! And, last week topped it all when Chef Amber took it upon herself to create a beautiful and delicious birthday surprise for a very special lady! We were so impressed and grateful!! Keep up the excellent work! We know it is a labor of love!

My family enjoyed very much. I especially loved the lecture and music session with Holly. She provided a wonderful summation of Shaker church music. It was quite soul-enriching.

Huge disappointment. I hadn't been in about 20 years and it used to be a fantastic living history museum...not anymore. Not worth the $14 ticket to walk around without anyone in period dress demonstrating and speaking the history. Again very disappointing.
