I definitely didn't schedule enough time for our visit! The Shaker Village alone kept us occupied for hours, including a nice lunch break at the restaurant. We took the tour led by Kevin and he was very knowledgeable and made it interesting.( My kiddo said if his social studies teacher was like him, he'd enjoy it a lot more, so big shout out to him) and the director of ducks (i didn't catch his name) was also very knowledgeable and it was so fun to see the ducks!

Shakers Village
of Pleasent Hill
is off the beaten path. When you get down into the Village you are stopped and asked
were your part of the Village you came to see.
When you park
your car,and enter the Village there is
quite silent sound.
You hear the birds
flap their wings.
You hear the creek
waters roll over the
rocks.
You smell clean forest pine trees.
Just loved it

Shakertown Trustee Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a not-so-ordinary menu. The food is exceptional, with highlights including the fried chicken with garlic sauce, Shaker Burger, French dip, and top-notch Fried Okra. The restaurant is located in Shaker Village, a peaceful place off the beaten path, where visitors can enjoy the sounds of birds and the creek, and smell the fresh forest pine trees. The restaurant strongly recommends making a reservation due to its popularity with locals. They offer seating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and a breakfast buffet on the weekends. Dinner was popular during a recent visit, so the only reservation available for a group was at 8:30 pm. Guests are seated right away, and the staff is kind and knowledgeable. When asked about specific ingredients, they double-check with the chef to ensure dietary needs are met. The menu features a variety of appetizers, salads, two soups (tomato celery and soup of the day), entrees, sides, and desserts. After ordering, diners are treated to complimentary country bread with butter and a dish of quick-pickled veggies, including okra, carrots, baby corn, radishes, and onions. The bread is not vegan, but the veggies are, and they are delicately flavored with a good crunch. The current seasonal menu has one vegan entrée — curried lentils with smashed sweet potato — which is truly lovely. The lentils are a bit salty, but the sweet potato balances the dish beautifully. Pricing is what one would expect for a farm-to-table restaurant within a tourist attraction — reasonable but not cheap (the lentil dish was $18). While more vegan options, including a vegan dessert, would be appreciated, the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is lovely, and the food is definitely worth a visit. Overall, the venue offers stunning views of the lawn and a peaceful setting, making it ideal for special occasions like anniversaries. Parking can be busy, but the restaurant has provisions for easy parking, enhancing the overall experience.
