  So I like visiting historical sites and the Hancock Shaker Village didn't disappoint. I'm kind of a jerk on the money side, but the 18 bucks admission was worth it to see the lumber mill, the giant barn and the home where everyone lived. Sure, there are people working there to restore the place still and planting in the gardens, but just seeing the older style buildings was my enjoyment. On another note, the underside of the circular barn had excellent DnD vibes(dungeons & dragons.) Had just enough creep to make you think there could be two guards posted or patrolling the underside..pick your humanoid race on the guards.
  Also, if you play pokemon go the Shaker village was full of stops and gyms, but the reception was not good on the grounds. That's not a negative for the experience, just a "go" side note.
  I would definitely go again if we head back to the berkshire Mts.
  Last but not least, the Cafe on the premises(I'm forgetting the name, I apologize) was a nice little spot but it reaffirmed for me that ginger beer is an acquired taste. Think twice before diving in.

  There is a lot of history and interesting expositions there.
  
  Kids will have fun watching animals and get a lot of activities.
  
  Very nice shop with great choices of souvenirs and organic products.
  
  It is a pretty good hamburger cafe there, too.

  Buildings and grounds are well-preserved, a few demos are happening during the day. There are a few trails around the village as well as some trails connecting to Pittsfield state forest. Not impressed with local cafe choices…

  This place has alot of very interesting history. If you enjoy learning this is a great place for all ages. While visiting, we learned about basket making, the round stone building, pet some of the animals, viewed the bees in their hive, and weaved with the "machine". This gift shop and food offering were reasonable and very nice. Well worth the 20.00 admission.

  Hancock Shaker Village has officially been added to my list of favorite venues in the Berkshires. The surroundings of the village make perfect backdrops for photos, the texture of the various buildings and the history beaming off the place makes you feel transformed to another place and time. We were able to access the property ahead of the guests in order to take photos before cocktail hour started and ended the night in the spacious tent next to the welcome center. A member of the staff drove me, along with the bride and groom to the cows further out in the pasture so we could take golden hour photos with them, too. The whole experience was wonderful and I hope to be back!
