    Tips

    July 5, 2020

    The Shakers were a free church religious community whose members, despite family structures, had subjected themselves to a strictly celibate life devoted entirely to manual work. The Pleasant Hill community was founded in 1805 and lasted a good 100 years, flourishing particularly in the mid-19th century Hilly landscape and between endlessly long dry stone walls and white wooden fences that stretch far over the hills. And shaded by mighty oaks (and maples). More info: shakervillageky.org



    The furniture design of the Shakers is still famous and influential to this day. Precisely worked, inventive, minimalist, durable, easy to repair. So quite the opposite of what is commonly understood as the "American way of life".
