Geocache Description:




The event is located on the scenic grounds of Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. This Shaker Village was settled in 1805 by Shaker missionaries and drew a number of religious converts during the Kentucky Revivals of the time. The community lasted just over 100 years when the Shaker society was dissolved in 1910. The Shakers left its imprint on the area nonetheless. Over the past fifty years, many original buildings have been restored and now Shaker Village is listed on the National Historic Landmark. Its 3000 acres make it the largest restored Shaker community in America.

The event takes advantage of the 3000 acres surrounding the restored village that are crossed by many beautiful trails that are open to bikes, hiking, horses riders and carriage drivers. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trails except those involved in trail maintenance.

The trails wind through pasture land being converted to wild flower restoration and through forests that are interspersed with creeks. Awe inspiring rock formations, known as palisades, are clearly visible along many of the trails. Since you will cross water several times some type of waterproof shoes or boots are suggested.

Shaker Village does have a restaurant and overnight accommodations as well as a restored village with a gift shop. All of these activities require a fee.

You can just attend the event and not hike on the trails. Hiking is optional after the event. There will be plenty of new permanent hides placed before the event. We will have a souvenir miniature canteen for the first 45 geocachers who attend.
