Hancock Shaker Village, a living history museum on 750 acres in the heart of the Berkshires, is located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

A National Historic Landmark, the property includes twenty historic Shaker buildings, and the oldest working farm in the Berkshires. The museum is home to more than 22,000 artifacts, making it one of the premier Shaker collections in the world.

Hancock Shaker Village presents its “Thanksgiving on the Farm” tradition on the three days following Thanksgiving. The Village will be open all three days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Then, the first weekend in December, HSV presents "Hancock Holidays."

We are joined by Hancock Shaker Village’s President and CEO, Jennifer Trainer Thompson.
