点评:We happened upon this historical gem while looking for a weekend getaway. The trip was last minute, so I was relatively unprepared. First, wear comfortable shoes, take a water bottle and prepare to stand, walk and climb stairs. With that said, we visited on a hot July day as well. Upon arrival we were able to secure a reservation on the first floor of one of the buildings and make dinner reset although we did have to dine late because earlier times slots were taken. The grounds are gorgeous, all 3,000 acres. Well maintained and remarkably clean. Every building held a different purpose, many were former businesses and dwellings. The Shaker religion was fascinating to learn about. The restaurant food is delicious and fresh. Every staff member we encountered was polite and knowledgeable of the Shaker life. We plan to return in the fall, more prepared this time.
