Travel back to a simpler time and retreat from the busy world. Experience the Shaker way of life on an overnight excursion with Frist Center educators to Harrodsburg, Kentucky, home of one of the few historical Shaker communities in the South.

Your experience will include an informal introduction to the Shakers on a luxury bus, guided village tours and talks, a riverboat adventure on the Dixie Bell along the Kentucky River, Shaker musical performances, craft demonstrations by skilled artisans, an evening bonfire including traditional storytelling, overnight lodging in original Shaker buildings, outdoor activities, and country meals.

This program is being held in conjunction with the exhibition Gather Up the Fragments: The Andrews Shaker Collection, which will be on view at the Frist Center from May 20 to August 21, 2011. Through a wide range of finely crafted functional objects, this exhibition will explore how the Shakers pursued the ideals of simplicity and perfection in every aspect of their lives.
 

Advanced registration required. Call (615) 744-3342 to register.  Registration and payment must be received by Friday, April 22. Space is limited.
