Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home

With this post, I give you an artsy picture of the center dwelling at the Pleasant Hill Shaker Village near Lexington, KY. It is one of my favorite places to stay. I was last there about 3 months ago. Unfortunately, because of their stand on celibacy, there are only two Shakers left in America.

Here is a little bit about this village:

In early 1961, a groundswell of interest in saving these historic structures brought on the formation of an organization to acquire and restore them. That same year, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill was formed as a nonprofit, educational corporation.
