If you are looking to visit Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill in Harrodsburg, KY, I would highly recommend doing it during the craft show!

General admission is discounted for the Craft Fair weekend and includes access to historic tours, exhibits, and other Shaker Village experiences.

Go hungry – there is a field of food trucks offering a variety of beverages and food. The food trucks have tacos to iced coffee.

Off to the side (and not pictured), there are tons of tables underneath several shade trees. So, you have a place to sit and rest while you eat and get away from the sun for a while!

The Field Containing Food Trucks at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill Craft Show

We had the honey lemonade when there, and of course, I had the bourbon-infused one! It was a hot day, so it hit the spot!

If you choose not to eat at the plentiful food trucks, you can go inside and eat at the Trustees Table, their restaurant on site. 

Spiral Staircase at Trustees Office

Don’t miss the double spiral staircases in the Trustees Office, even if you don’t eat there, you must go in and look around!

As we made our way through the vendor booths, we were able to go into the buildings, join tours, and experience the village.

Linen Storage at Shaker Village

How beautiful was the area for linen storage! The skylight was there to avoid the use of candlelight due to fire hazard.

If you get there at the correct time, you will be able to listen to live Shaker music.

 

Entrance to the farm at Shaker Village

The farm, as usual, is one of our favorite parts of Shaker Village.

The booths at the craft show have a variety of price points, and there was something for everyone! We happened to take my parents with us that weekend, as they were in from Eastern KY visiting.

My mom is a quilter, and her favorite booth was the booth of a fellow quilter. Of course, I went nuts for the Halloween displays in the booth.

My dear friend, Susanne, who owns Little Swede Pottery always sets up a booth. I regret I did not get a picture of her booth or her! I was too excited to see her and catch up! I have several of her beautiful pottery items, including a gnome that watches over my kitchen, ornaments, and a beautiful yarn bowl.

Don’t miss all the events Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill has to offer! It’s a great reason to visit! Keep August on your calendar for the Craft Show!
