Hancock Village was established in western Massachusetts in the late 1780s and thrived as an active Shaker community until the 1950s.

It is now a living history museum committed to bringing the Shaker story to life and preserving it for future generations.

Called the "City of Peace" by the Shakers who lived here for 179 years until 1960, this community was the third of 19 major Shaker Villages located in New York, New England, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.
