Pleasant Hill was home to a Shaker community in the 1800s and the buildings have been carefully kept, with plain stone and brick houses along a quiet pike. You can wander the village, walk the farmland trails and eat in the dining room, or stay overnight in a restored building. It is a calm stop in the middle of the Bluegrass.
