Have you ever heard of the Shakers? Lots of people have, though they tend to only remember one thing: they denied themselves 'pleasures of the flesh'. The Shakers were so much more than that one belief, however. Come listen as we tell you all about our recent visit to Pleasant Hill Shaker Village, the history of the Shakers, their beliefs, their music, and more. Music from Early Shaker Spirituals, sung by members of The United Society of Shakers, Sabbathday Lake, Maine.
