Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill:
50 Years of Preserving History and Hospitality

It’s a BIG year that almost never was. The once vibrant Shaker community that flourished on Pleasant Hill’s rolling meadows for more than 100 years was gone. By 1961, the hand built limestone buildings they erected as symbols of heaven on earth were empty and crumbling. The Shakers were almost forgotten until concerned friends and neighbors formed a nonprofit organization to acquire, restore and preserve their buildings, lands and stories.

In 2011, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill will celebrate its first 50 years as a nonprofit organization and will honor its founders and friends, those who have shaped an illustrious past and those who will be crucial to the preservation and conservation of Shaker Village for the next 50 years.

Come help us celebrate this very BIG year.
