Shakertown
Shaker Village is America's largest restored Shaker community, with 34 restored buildings and 3,000 acres of preserved farmland. Tours, exhibitions, and activities cover various topics in the historic buildings, working farm, and nature preserve. With a farm-to-table restaurant and lodging in the historic group homes and cottages (both listed below), this can be a unique place to stay, or the focus of a few days' worth of activities.
The 115-passenger riverboat located at Shaker Village cruises the scenic Kentucky River palisades. A one hour narrated cruise passes by the oldest exposed rock in Kentucky, and goes under High Bridge built in 1877. The riverboat is accessible to persons with physical disabilities.
Herrington Lake was formed in 1925 by the damming of the Dix River to create hydroelectric power for Kentucky Utilities. Herrington Lake is the deepest lake in Kentucky with a maximum depth of 249 feet and 325 miles of shoreline.
