Where is Hancock Shaker Village?

In this carefully restored and maintained open-air museum you can learn a great deal about a Lost World by visiting numerous buildings and a museum wing and last but not least interesting conversations with the operators of workshops and farms: here, a very successful Shaker community existed until well into the 20th century, which experienced its heyday in the 19th century.

The social Ideal of this Protestant-religious movement is still impressive today: equality (e.g. B. of genders or people of different skin colors), modesty, a sense of practicality and openness to technical progress.
If you are interested and with a full purse, you can also buy typical handicraft products such as furniture or textiles.
