Restoring Pleasant Hill

It's been two hundred years since the Runyon family arrived at Pleasant Hill. Thanks to its restoration, begun 50 years ago, we can walk the grounds, eat a meal in the Trustee's Office, and listen to a song in the meeting house...and experience a bit of what life was like in the early days.

The mission of Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, a non-profit corporation, is to preserve and maintain the site of the Shaker community which once existed here; to protect its buildings, its countryside and the records and articles pertaining to its builders; to make these buildings and grounds available for the broader uses of culture, education and recreation benefiting the citizens of Kentucky and others who visit the Commonwealth.



Update: Unfortunately the video Restoring Plesant Hill is now listed as Private on Youtube.
