Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill

When we were playing tourist last week, we visited Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, the beautifully restored buildings and grounds of one of Kentucky's more interesting groups of settlers. They have buildings furnished with Shaker furniture and they are gardening and farming for 'exhibition' also on the grounds. It is beautiful, serene, fascinating.

But one visitor wanted to know if the brown sheep with the horns and the long ears in the middle of the other sheep were the males - is that why they look different? Ok. At least she knew that often it is the male of the species that grows the horns or antlers. But, really - those are goats. No extra credit for her.

The quilt exhibition was worth the trip!
