Their ideals of simplicity and perfection produced a legacy of craftsmanship and are sure to compel you to want to know more about their culture.

South Union is one of 24 villages established by the Shakers. During the village's 100-year history, the shakers acquired and worked 6,000 acres of farmland, constructed more than 200 buildings and maintained industries for which they gained national reputation. South Union garden seed, fruit preserves, brooms, hats, bonnets, rugs, linen and silk were marketed to customers from Nashville to New Orleans.

Make your way through the Shaker Museum as it is filled with scores of original artifacts exemplifying the Shaker's fine craftsmanship. Oval boxes, baskets, Shaker silk and linen as well as trestle tables, benches, chairs and other furnishings display the diversity of Shaker genius.

Enjoy lunch at the Shaker Tavern where Victorian travelers dined when they stopped at South Union. The 1869 building was established as a business venture for South Union housing a hotel and restaurant for the "people of the world." Today, the Shaker Tavern is open once more for fine southern fare.
