We didn't check times beforehand, so we missed the last tour of the day, but the staff was really helpful, and materials were great for self-guided walking tour. Grounds are gorgeous! The gardens can't be missed! Easy to see why these folks chose this spot. Will definitely return.
We visited in winter so everything was shut down, but the grounds are still open to walk around. They don’t really shovel the paths so snow boots are recommended. The village itself is beautiful and serene, especially when you are the only ones there. We will definitely be back in the summer to visit the museum and gift shop.
If you enjoy history, you will enjoy this tour. It’s like stepping back in time. Our guide Joanne did a fantastic job describing what life was like for the Shakers. I would highly recommend
First, we love history, so WE LOVED IT! Take the tour, it's great and really fun. Then, plan to walk the trails! This is the hidden gem. The walking trails have stunningly beautiful views and are easy on the body. :) I will go back. The only fee is the tour, walking, hiking is FREE.
Fascinating place to visit, the tour was also was so well done
Our tour guide Bill was funny and very knowledgeable. I learned so much about the Shakers. He was pleasing to listen to and didn't just talk at us. He was interactive and a great teacher. It is a beautiful village, and I hope to visit again someday to hike the property and take one of their other tours when the weather is warmer. They had free hot chocolate in the gift shop, which was perfect on such a cold day, and after the tour, he gave us little soaps.
You can walk the grounds and picnic there for free or you can take one of the guided tours available. We just walked around at our own pace. It was was old and quaint. It was like stepping back in time as we observed the old buildings and their purposes. It was cool to see some of the items they used to print with and cook with. We also saw some of their kitchen and laundry appliances. The gardens were very impressive as well.
At the museum entrance and gift shop you can buy tickets for a guided tour of the site. The folks there said the tour takes 1.5 to 2 hours. It’s the only way to see inside the buildings (you need to have a guide with you). Unfortunately, we didn’t have that much time. We got a map of the grounds and wandered around (free of charge, donations welcome) with the little bit of time we had. We’ll be back in the future for the actual tour.
