About this organization
Mission
Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill (SVPH) is on a mission to inspire generations through discovery by sharing the legacies of the Kentucky Shakers. In 1805, a small group of Shakers came to central Kentucky and established a remarkable community they called Pleasant Hill. One hundred years later, the Village they founded and made thrive was little more than a ghost town. However, the Shaker legacy endured. Today, SVPH is a 3,000-acre property that includes 34 historic structures and the country's largest private collection of 19th century buildings; permanent and temporary exhibits; 72 hotel rooms; a restaurant; craft shops; an educational farm; a nature preserve; 37 miles of multi-use trails; a paddle-wheel river boat; and a variety of guided tours and educational programming.

THE SITE IS THE LARGEST SUCH SITE IN AMERICA AND IS ONE OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE INTACT EXAMPLES POSSESSING A HIGH DEGREE OF INTEGRITY EVEN TO THIS DAY. THE BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESERVED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE EXQUISITE EXAMPLES OF THE HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE AND A BEAUTIFUL ROLLING LANDSCAPE.
