Don’t forget to stop by the Poultry House to see Susan Merrill’s show of new paintings - “Black & White Barnyard”. You’ll recognize some of the babies from the barn.

April 16 - May 8 @ 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily
Hancock Shaker Village is opening for the season, and at this time of year the “awwwww” factor is at its highest, with baby animals galore - lambs, piglets, calves, goats, ducklings, and chicks - arriving at the historic Round Stone Barn. During HSV’s Baby Animals on the Shaker Farm spring celebration, visitors can meet and greet the baby animals and participate in farm chores, such as helping to feed the animals and to save seeds. They may also participate in fun Shaker-themed craft activities, including basket weaving, making and decorating seed packets, and weaving on a small loom.
Behind-the-Scenes Farm Tours are available daily at 2 p.m. with additional 10 a.m. tours scheduled for weekends and during school vacation. Families can get up close and personal with the animals on these private guided tours, which include special access to the newborns, helping at feeding time, gift bags with a variety of toys and games from the Village Store, plus a group photo to commemorate the visit.
