Hancock Shaker Village (All information about this site.)
1843 W. Housatonic St., Pittsfield, MA 01201
Route 20, New York is three miles to the west
The red building houses the visitor center, restrooms, gift shop, and very small cafe, with limited food selection.
Follow the path to the round stone barn.
I couldn't get into the large round stone barn fast enough to check it out.
View from a window. Halloween was two weeks away.
We got a map and program for the day, and did our own tour. I'm not sure if they have guided tours.
This house was open on both sides. One man was making Shaker chairs.
Kitchen, with a view, below.
Laundry below. (The door on the right takes you to the drying and ironing room)
The ironing board top is a grave stone! See below.
Miscellaneous Rooms.
Route 20 to New York. Additional Shaker dwellings are across the street.
We were the very last to leave...naturally, because I had to take a lot of pictures.
Program for October 20, 2017
I have decided not to use the Comment feature for my blog. If you would like to leave a comment for me or ask a question, please write me at my email: BarbaraPoole@Gmail.com. Thank you.
My reason is because since November 2017 to May 2018, I received no comments, but upon investigating I found that I had indeed received 167 legitimate ones and 1,000 were in the spam folder. Google Blogger had made some changes that I was unaware of. Please be aware that I do not know who reads my blog, I may know who subscribes, but that is all.
