“An incredible setting, historically interesting place to take a tour. Even after several visits, you are surprised at the things that the Shaker's invented, how creative they were, and their highly honed level of craft. The wood work inside the buildings is awesome.” – TookieGal – TripAdvisor.com Reviewer
