Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is a National Historic Landmark located in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Jill Malusky shares the story of how Shaker missionaries established the successful communal society on the western frontier with amazing craftsmanship, architecture, and radically different social ideals. Since the passing of the last Sister in 1923, preservation efforts have created one of the largest historic sites of its kind in the country.

The Little Lectures are informal programs featuring speakers on a variety of topics. Programs are presented on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. at our headquarters located at 1310 Kanawha Boulevard, East, Charleston, in the parlor of MacFarland-Hubbard House. The series is one of the many ways the Humanities Council shares our historic property with the community. Seating is limited (thus “Little” Lectures) and reservations are suggested. Admission is $10 per person and includes refreshments after the lecture. Call Mark Payne at 304.346.8500 or email payne@wvhumanities.org for further information.
