A plethora of rules governed all aspects of life in the Shaker community - from when brethren and sisters could meet socially to what foods were acceptable on the dinner table. We'll share stories about the naughtier side of life at Pleasant Hill on a stroll through our historic buildings, which ends with some forbidden foods - including a cocktail at Music on the Lawn this Friday and Saturday.
