Ellen Spear I got a sneak peek at the great gifts at the Hancaker Village store. Big sale now with special savings Thanksgiving weekend. Artisan made, reasonably priced holiday gifts.

Nelleke Vogel I have spend a great afternoon here last september (when I was visiting from the Netherlands) with my friend Sue (who used to work at Hancock Shaker Village) and my daughter. A real bigcitygirl who got into milking the 'cow' and got real enthousiastic about weaving. The sun was shining, it was nice and quiet, a lot of history to touch; in short, we had a great time!! So yes, I'm a fan!

Along with a slight physical reconfiguration, the new-and-improved Village Harvest Café, on the grounds of Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, now has chef Michael Roller to its credit. ...

Ellen Spear I'm looking forward to the Shaker Supper this Saturday, October 10. Chef Michael Roller is preparing some exquisite Shaker-inspired food. The Brick Dwelling by candle light is a beautiful room in which to share conversation, good food and to get into the upcoming holiday mood. If you're interested in attending, go to the Village website or call to make your reservation.
