Description
A Clydesdale horse grazing at the open-air museum in Shakertown, Kentucky. Horses are a common sight in bluegrass region of Kentucky. Although known more for thoroughbred, Clydesdale horse were bred as work horses historically.
The Kentucky Shaker village was founded by three New England Shaker missionaries, John Meacham, Benjamin Seth Youngs, and Issachar Bates. They founded the community around the teachings of Mother Ann Lee who believed in celibacy. Kentucky's Shaker community ultimately died out, in part because of their beliefs in celibacy, problems encountered during and after the Civil War, and a declining interest in their way of life by potential converts . But their legacy of hard work, and fine craftsmanship lives on at Pleasant Hill.
